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 William Forsythe's first big creations on becoming director of the Frankfurt Ballet 15 years ago, Artifact is a full-evening work in five movements that helped reveal the way he was heading towards changing the face of ballet. Now it has its first British performances, given by the Dutch National Ballet. Favourably remembered for their contribution to the Van Manen celebrations at last year's Edinburgh Festival, they should do full justice to Forsythe's characteristic mix of movement, music and space. Everything is fragmented and fitted together again in often unexpected ways - even the music, which consists of Bach's Chaconne in D major, freely varied and modified at the piano by Eva Crossman-Hecht.
