In the heart's rhythm, where words meet motion, Overshadowed and Ballet 5:8 unite to breathe life into The Caged Bird Sings. Take flight with a dance of liberation and resilience. With each step, each word, we honor the journey of the caged bird, yearning to break free from the constraints of silence. Join us on this sacred voyage, where poetry and movement intertwine, echoing the spirit of my timeless anthem. Together, we rise, dance, and sing the song of freedom.

“The caged bird sings   

with a fearful trill   

of things unknown   

but longed for still   

and his tune is heard   

on the distant hill   

for the caged bird   

sings of freedom.”

-Maya Angelou
