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.One of Kenneth MacMillan's most attractive works, his early Diversions, this week gets its first London showing for 20 years. An all-dance piece to Arthur Bliss's Music for Strings, its 1961 premiere introduced the now celebrated director-designer Philip Prowse, who has redone his beautiful costumes for this revival. Diversions is part of a mixed bill for Scottish Ballet - at present flourishing under its acting director Kenn Burke. The other pieces, both new here, are Rapture, reputedly one of the best ballets by America's Lila York, and Night Life, newly created by Tim Rushton, who sprung to fame by winning an international competition in Copenhagen. Prokofiev piano concertos and music by Bach are their respective scores, played by rising Scottish soloist Lynda Cochrane.
