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 from Chad Taylor, 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.
Show duration: 28 minutes
