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.

"Circus skills" are a bit of a joke in some circles. For Momentary Fusion, the emphasis is definitely on skill rather than circus. This is not the flying trapeze of the Burt Lancaster movie but a still, rather serious show of strength that works well beneath the vaulted ceiling of St Bride's. At 65 minutes, this is rather more trapeze than you'd want, but the final 15 minutes are worth the wait. Isabel Rocamora and Sophy Griffiths share a trapeze in a strangely moving duet. They take turns to slide down each other's bodies only to halt inches from the floor and cling to their partner in panic. For this magical couple there is no fear of falling, only a fear of leaving the air.
To 30 Aug. Continental Shifts at St Bride's, Venue 62. (0131-346 1405) Louise Levene
