The stage is set for dance at festivals
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.Summer festivals have often had other performers alongside the music.
Now dance is joining the bill. Alongside Franz Ferdinand and Sigur Ros, this weekend's Latitude Festival will show hip-hop, Indian classical dance and work by Wayne McGregor, resident choreographer at the Royal Ballet.
At least the dancers should be away from any mud. At Latitude, most of the dance performances will be on a stage in a lake. Today's final rehearsals will include assessments of damp, mosquitoes and lights bouncing off the water. Technicians are standing by with mops, to keep the stage dry.
