About

Part of Brighton Festival 2024

Two young, Black brothers from the inner city of Manchester have dreams 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.
