Dynamic Pricing

ARC’s policy is to set ticket prices based on demand, like budget airlines, which means we set a price when the event goes on sale and then sometimes put the price up or down depending on how the show is selling. Usually, the price will increase as we get closer to the event, so it is advantageous to book in advance, although sometimes we will put special offers on and reduce the price. Our website will always show the current ticket price.

ARC’s theatre and dance performances are priced on a Pay What You Decide basis, which means you don’t have to pay until after you have seen a show!

We want to encourage more people to come and see shows at ARC, more often. Pay What You Decide not only allows you to pay what you can afford, rather than a fixed ticket price, but also removes the financial risk of buying a ticket for a show in advance without knowing whether you are going to enjoy it or not.

Tickets are available to book in advance as usual, but there is no obligation for you to pay until after you have seen the show. You can then decide on a price which you think is suitable based on your experience, which means if you haven’t enjoyed it at all, you don’t have to pay anything.

All money collected will help ARC pay the artists who have performed, and we therefore hope you will give generously.

Please ensure you have arrived and collected your tickets 15 minutes before the show starts in order to secure your seats. At the end of the show, you can decide what to pay, either by cash on the door or by card at the Box Office.

This session with Canopy invites us to explore collective imagination – not as a one-off spark of inspiration, but as a shared practice that runs through the work we do.

Together, we’ll look at how imagination can be something we build and nurture in groups. It’s not just about ideas. It’s about creating space for people to think differently, connect deeply and shape new possibilities side by side.

In our work, collective imagination helps us design projects, campaigns and creative actions that are truly co-owned. It fuels activism that goes beyond protest – helping us dream up and test the alternatives we want to see in the world. This training is a chance to reflect on how we hold space for collective imagining, and how we can use it in practical, purposeful ways.

This event is part of the wider Borderlands training programme of activity to support the Communities of Possibility commissions. This session is for community workers, artists and anyone looking to embed communities in a more meaningful way across Middlesbrough and Redcar & Cleveland.

This event will take place online.
