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.

If you were going to stage an outdoor dance extravaganza, you'd probably emigrate first. Not Lea Anderson, who is out on the road again with the Cholmondeleys and the Featherstonehaughs in Out on the Windy Beach (above). Anderson devised the project "because I didn't want to be in dark theatres all summer," but she is well aware of the perils of performing outdoors. In 1995, she choreographed an outdoor piece called Car, which involved motoring round Europe in a Saab which was both stage-set and tour bus. "We had a minimum temperature and said we wouldn't perform in the rain, but we forgot to have a maximum temperature." They fried. Let's hope it keeps fine for them.

Tomorrow 2pm & 6pm, South Bank, London SE1 (Info: 0171-960 4242)
