‘Does ‘Pay What You Can’ pay off?’ was the question asked by pricing consultants Baker Richards in Arts Professional last week.

Anger is a basic human emotion, connected to our ‘fight, flight or freeze’ instincts - it prepares us to fight. Being angry about something can be quite useful - it can help identify problems or things we don’t like or feel are unjust, and it can motivate us to create change. When we feel angry and want to fight, this doesn’t have to be physical, we can fight by changing our behaviour.
