Rap, dance and theatre combine in this powerful new work created with Gypsy and Traveller communities and the people of BD4.
When the ground beneath you is constantly shifting, what does it mean to belong?
RIDE! tells the story of a family’s fight to survive in a world that keeps pushing back against them.
Big Deli and a cast of Bradford rappers star in this electrifying new show, which brings together music, rap, dance and theatre. Rooted in real-life stories, it’s being created for Bradford 2025 with Gypsy and Traveller communities and the people of BD4 – and receives its world premiere at the TFD Centre in Holme Wood in September.
RIDE! is a show about standing tall when the odds are stacked against you. It’s a show about sticking together and standing up to be counted – and it’s a show for anyone who’s ever been judged for all the wrong reasons.
