DANCE EVENT OF THE WEEK
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.Sakoba Dance Theatre Fri - Sun 6 Dec
Purcell Room
Ten years old and based in London, Sakoba Dance Theatre is the Nigerian choreographer Bode Lawal's answer to those who think African dance is all jiggling hips and leopard skins. Lawal wants to move on: not to discard the ancestral forms of his past, but to embrace the international present as well. He and four other dancers perform Myths, which fuses African and other techniques. Expect a spiritual slant: Mystical Songs rides an emotional surge, to the new world music of Adiemus; Creation Myths evokes the creation stories of cultures across the world. Also on the programme is Divine Triples, a solo created by a New Yorker, Abdel R. Salaam, which traces the human cycle from the beginning of life to its end.
Sakoba Dance Theatre, Purcell Room, South Bank Centre, London SE1 (0171- 960 4242) 4-6 Dec, 8pm
