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.

The Vivarta season of revolutionary South Asian dance at The Place in London signed off this week with the British premiere of Chandralekha's Angika. The Madras-based choreographer is considered the most radical in India. Her stark, modern style breaks away from the mythological basis of Indian classical dance, and uses a 20th-century vocabulary drawn from yoga and martial arts to create amazing geometric forms. As with P Nagendra Rao and T Nandakumar, who are members of the 16-strong company. The Chandralekha Group moves on to the Phoenix Arts Theatre in Leicester (0533 554854) on 16 and 17 Oct, then tours to Bradford and Glasgow.
