Radical Play-Making

Radical Play-making: A Tabula Rasa performance/theater workshop by Sea Change Collective

Performance art is a vibrant and dynamic form of artistic expression that transcends traditional boundaries, allowing individuals to explore their creativity in profound ways. In this unique workshop, we remind adults how to play!
Join Sea Change Collective co-founders, Autumn Kioti Horne and Suzanne Ankrum, in discovering the building blocks for devising a performance using the items, spaces and bodies at hand. This is an arts workshop where body and mind are the paint and brush, and the world is your canvas.

What to expect in this session: Using simple materials such as chairs and found objects, inspiration from poetry, visual art, and theatre, students will learn the basics of building a performance. Intructors Suzanne and Autumn will lead the class through simple movement exercises (no movement training required, and all bodies and abilities are welcome) and techniques that will help to open your mind to experiencing everyday objects and situations in a new way.
Students will complete the workshop having created a mini-performance piece of their own, scripted or unscripted, to use as a jumping off point for future expansion.

Requirements: No previous movement training is required, just a willingness to try something new, to collaborate, to come together as a community, to tell our stories, to have fun, and to find your radical artistic voice.

Open to all bodies and abilities. Take a chance and get radical with us!

About the Collective: Sea Change Collective, founded in 2024 by interdisciplinary artist and Artlife WPB Commission recipient Autumn Kioti Horne, and Artist Innovation Fellowship recipient Suzanne Ankrum, emerged from the notion that the traditional theatrical model was not addressing the needs and concerns of a changing world, a changing audience, and a diversity of artists. The Sea Change Collective is a unique performative response to the dynamic state of our world in three tributaries: Sea Change, Potential Energy Project, and Tabula Rasa. We can be found creating unique site specific performances throughout South Florida, most recently Hell is Empty and the Devils are Here, inspired by Shakespeare’s The Tempest, and created for Broward County’s Festival of the Classics. We have offered workshops and site specific performances based on new exhibitions at the Norton Museum of Art, including the incoming installation EST by Laddie John Dill, and past explorations of the work of Rose B. Simpson, have received a grant to create a site specific installation and performance at the creative reuse center, Resource Depot, and will be creating future performances based on Arts Warehouse exhibitions including the upcoming Summer Heat.
