ABOUT

FIFTH WALL

Founded by dance artist Madge Reyes in 2020, FIFTH WALL is the Philippines’ pioneering international movement platform dedicated to the presentation of dance through multidisciplinary experimentation. Its mission is to hold space for movement that is crafted for the unconventional stage – meeting and bridging gaps through performance, film, exhibition, discussion, and more through its annual gathering, FIFTH WALL FEST.

​

The "fifth wall" is the imaginary barrier that guests pass once they exit a venue after a cultural experience, to return to their everyday lives. With this namesake in mind, FIFTH WALL revolves around the idea of engaging movement-minded individuals to go beyond the fifth wall for a boundless celebration of dance from all angles®.
