ABOUT

COMMUNITY / PERFORMANCE / COLLABORATION

Code Collective is a London-based movement collective founded by Australian artist Rachel Syder. Working across dance, theatre, live performance and workshops the collective creates work driven by story and emotion, often reflecting the times we’re living in.

From intimate dance-theatre to explosive pop-up performance, Code Collective brings artists together to create work that is raw, playful and deeply human.

Community is at the core of Code Collective. Rachel believes in creating a sense of belonging within the intensity of London life. She is also deeply driven to create more opportunities for artists across disciplines to work, collaborate and be seen in an unpredictable industry.

RACHEL SYDER

ACTOR / DANCER / CHOREOGRAPHER

Founder & Artistic Director

Rachel Syder is an Australian actor, dancer and choreographer based in London. Her performance career has taken her across Australia, Paris, Berlin, the US and London spanning dance, theatre, film, television, commercial and fashion work.

Moving between disciplines has deeply shaped Rachel’s approach as a choreographer and creative by fuelling her passion for the compelling fusion of dance and acting, a combination that tells stories words often can’t. She births choreography through a process that is instinctive, honest and led by the subject itself, drawing on research, interviews with those connected to the work and practices of embodiment and meditation.
