Thinking Aloud
£10 / £9 Concessions / £8 ICA Members.
Imagine if you could hear the thoughts of the people sat around you right now - would you like what you heard? Thinking Aloud is an eavesdropping audio tour of the thoughts and daydreams of patrons of the ICA bar. Pry into the minds of the people around you as they enjoy a post-exhibition drink with friends or dinner before a film. Thinking Aloud is a new work by Annette Mees and Minkette, the creators of Train of Thought, the site-specific performance set among the passengers on a London tube train. This new story has been written by David Black, Charlie Fish and David Varela specifically for the ICA bar.
Places are limited to 15 people per performance. You will be asked to meet at the ICA box office 15 minutes before the performance begins to collect a radio set. There will be a small deposit for radios.
