Pay What You Decide Info
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.
Seating: Unallocated - Theatre Style
In a world confined by borders, flags and occupied lands.
Who dares to dream? Who dares to break the cycles of oppression?
Who dares to be joyful in the darkest hour?
‘Free’ embarks on a powerful quest for a place of no limitations on people’s way of life and way of being. We sing: “take me to a place where I am free, leave the people dem so they can see.”
We dance as the Nyabinghi rhythms vibrate our bodies and we skank to the pulse of the one drop. Free combines the worlds of Reggae Dub Culture & Contemporary Dance to immerse audiences in the unwavering pursuit of freedom. Celebrating Reggae’s global injection that has ignited revolutions all over the world since the 1960s.
An Immersive performance with original music written and performed by ‘Buck and The Magnificence’ in the Reggae Dub style, held together by the storytelling nature of Toussaint To Move’s work.
Gather, skank and lively up yourself, till we are all Free.
‘Free’ is co-commissioned by Sadler’s Wells, Transform Festival and ARC Stockton (via The Make New Work Programme, supported by The Paul Hamlyn Foundation) and the development was funded via Arts Council England’s National Lottery Project Grants.
