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.

Twelve lords a-leaping... well, six actually. Lea Anderson divides her time between choreographing the "ladies dancing" of the Cholmondeleys (pronounced "Chumleys") and the male sextet, the Featherstonehaughs (pronounced "Fanshores"). The two companies have danced together but are best known for their worlds apart. Previous productions have seen the men exploring classic American male stereotypes in Go Las Vegas while The Bends rushed in where the Village People feared to tread with a look at life in the navy in war-time submarines. Their latest work, to celebrate their 10th anniversary is entitled The Featherstonehaughs Draw on the Sketch Books of Egon Schiele which is the long and the short of it. Conceived around the entirely plausible idea of a series of "lost dances", the publicity photographs alone vividly convey the haunting sexuality and the alarmingly twisted, entwined physicality of the artist's instantly recognisable work.
