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.SERENITY, chic, restraint - such were the low-key effects achieved by New York's Lucinda Childs Dance Company, unaccountably making its London debut at the QEH on Tuesday after 21 years. Childs's signature work, 'Available Light', set to a minimalist score by John Adams (of 'Nixon in China' fame), had dancers in billowing trouser-suits, including the choreographer herself (above), making cool patterns on a two-storey stage. With its complete lack of narrative, and energy diffused somewhat over the twin levels on view, the piece left some of the audience in the dark.
