Closer to my Dreams

Chad Taylor
Fri 10 - Sat 11 May 2024

Two young, black brothers from inner-city Manchester dream of becoming professional dancers.

Weaving together poetry, rap and hip hop choreography, we follow the brothers as they build friendships and relationships and try to succeed in the face of adversity.

Closer to my Dreams is a playful, heartfelt take on family and friendship, exploring how we respond to the trials and tribulations life throws at us, and knowing when it’s best to hustle or just let go.

Supported by Without Walls and commissioned by Certain Blacks. R&D supported by Blueprint: Without Walls R&D Investment Fund.

Co-presented in partnership with Attenborough Centre for the Creative Arts

Brighton Festival is part of Without Walls, a network of organisations bringing innovative outdoor arts to towns and cities across England. Find out more on withoutwalls.uk.com.
