Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

Dance Umbrella today and tomorrow

Queen Elizabeth Hall

This year's Dance Umbrella is sheltering a particularly strong gathering of contemporary dancers representing some of the world's most famous companies. Having opened with Siobhan Davies and Merce Cunningham, we have now reached the New Yorker Stephen Petronio and the European phenomenon, William Forsythe's Ballet Frankfurt. Petronio is a regular visitor to Dance Umbrella (his appearance in a pink surgical corset was one of its most famous publicity images) and his latest offering, the full-length work Not Garden, can be seen at Queen Elizabeth Hall this weekend. Next weekend sees the London premiere of his work for Ricochet Dance Co, Fetch Boy Fox, which he made with five Ricochet dancers last spring.

Queen Elizabeth Hall, London SE1 (0171-960 4242) today and tomorrow
