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 Royal Ballet is taking dance to the provinces with its Dance Bites tour - featuring works by up-and-coming choreographers - which begins in Sheffield tonight.

More than 25 members of the Royal Ballet are taking part in the performances, which include shows at the Wycombe Swan in High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire, from Thursday to Saturday and Bath's Theatre Royal on 10 and 11 March.

The tour marks the culmination of the Royal Ballet's two-year Network education project, which will involve 3,000 local students in all three venues.

Works performed will include Christopher Wheeldon's Pavane pour une infante defunte, and also feature world premieres of new ballets by Cathy Marston, Ashley Page, Tom Sapsford and William Tucket.
