Dance: Event Of The Week - Elbow Room
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.

The next Poet Laureate? Cult artist John Hegley dances with words and sometimes with his body: a combination unmatched by either Ted Hughes or Rudolf Nureyev. Consolidating his status as honorary member of the dance profession, he orchestrates Elbow Room, five nights of cabaret-style shows in which he recites his wonderful, funny poetry and leads an eclectic bunch, including the dancer-comedienne Wendy Houstoun. For the final performance, a late-night benefit in aid of The Place's rebuilding fund, Hegley is joined by the all-male dance group The Featherstonehaughs.
Elbow Room, The Place Theatre, 17 Duke's Road, London WC1 (0171-387 0031) Tue to Fri 8pm, Sat 10 April 7pm and 10pm
