About Sea Change 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.

SUZANNE ANKRUM-HARRIS (she/her)
Suzanne is a South Florida theater artist who works as an actor, director, and devised-theater practitioner. She has performed in productions at several South Florida Theatre companies since making the region her home in 2019 - including Palm Beach Dramaworks (Streetcar Named Desire and several readings), Island City Stage (Rotterdam and the upcoming June 2024 production of Skintight), and the Maltz Jupiter Theatre (Murder on the Orient Express). Additional regional performances include
productions at the Clarence Brown Theatre, WAM Theatre, Ivoryton Playhouse, New Century Theatre, Hartbeat Ensemble, Richmond Shakespeare, and the Majestic Theatre. She has appeared on television in Orange is the New Black and has worked on several independent film projects/commercials. During her graduate studies she focused on physical theatre - studying the work of Tadashi Suzuki, Corporeal Mime, and more. She is passionate about sharing her love of the craft of acting and physical storytelling – leading courses and workshops at Lynn University, Hartford University, Momentum Stage, SUNY Albany, Housatonic Community College, Middletown Circus, Hartbeat Ensemble and more. Suzanne earned her MFA in Acting from the University of Tennessee-Knoxville.
Tabula Rasa’s devised eco-theatre model is unique, but based in the oldest traditions of communal storytelling. Devised theatre can be defined as a theatrical performance created through the collaboration of a group of interdisciplinary artists where the creators are also the performers. In the case of Tabula Rasa, we envision creating a theatrical performance that is specific to Resource Depot, using both the architecture and mission of the organization to inform the final product. This final product will be an immersive theatrical performance and art installation in and around the gallery area of Resource Depot. The artists will have created a fully realized scripted show that will be in public performance over a run of 4-6 weeks, each Friday evening. It will address environmental concerns and use the repurposed items available at Resource Depot for the creation of every visual aspect of the show.
