West Midlands dance company Linden Dance promotes positivity, individuality and empowerment, championing diverse perspectives, backgrounds and creative voices in a strong, physical movement language which brings together Afro-fusion and Contemporary dance styles.
The company’s new outdoor dance piece CAGED takes as its starting point themes of loneliness and isolation. Performing inside and around a 3m high metal “birdcage”, the four performers explore ambiguous worlds of entrapment and safety, a delicate balance that ultimately leads to feelings of hope and reconciliation. The emotive themes are reflected in an athletic, daring physicality and a punchy soundtrack.
CAGED joined Linden Dance‘s repertoire earlier this year, booking alongside the company’s fast-paced duet UNBO☒ED, an exploration of identity and the assumptions we make about one another. Both pieces are available for bookings in 2026 and 2027.
Upcoming tour dates:
16 August King’s Cross Summer Sounds London Caged
