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.

The four dance pieces shortlisted for The Place Prize 2011, the UK’s biggest award in choreography, will be performed every night from today until 16 April at the eponymous Euston-based dance theatre .

Selected from 16 commissions and nearly 200 entries, the dancers are competing for £25,000 prize money. The winner will be chosen by a panel of judges including Rupert Goold, Hannah Barry, Zena Edwards, Matthew Peacock and Laurie Uprichard.

The audience also has a chance to take part and the winning performance each night will be awarded £1,000.

The finalists are Riccardo Buscarini & Antonio de la Fe Guedes with 'Cameo', Ben Duke & Raquel Meseguer with ' It Needs Horses', Eva Recacha with ' Begin to Begin: a piece about dead ends' and Frauke Requardt & Freddie Opoku-Addaie with 'Fidelity Project'.

The award is sponsored by Bloomberg and runs biennially.
