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.It might sound like a duff name for a dance company, but who's going to care when Mikhail Baryshnikov, Russian ballet titan turned contemporary dance megastar, is leading it? White Oak Dance Project, named after the American wildlife reserve where Baryshnikov and his pals have rehearsal facilities, returns with another mixed programme and its usual trick of finalising details only at the eleventh hour. One certainty: this time Baryshnikov will be the sole man, surrounded by five women. Surely he isn't afraid of male competition? Eighteen months ago, dancing in Paris, he showed he was still uniquely mesmerising and I suspect that, at 51, he remains the same.
