BLACK BOX
The BLACK BOX is FIFTH WALL FEST’s very own space for engagement, interaction, and education. Transcending the traditional notion of a four-walled performance space, this platform opens dialogues for movement to all kinds of speakers, movers, and listeners—fostering interdisciplinary connections and a collective celebration of dance from all angles™.
