Collective Disorder is a bold project of interdisciplinary collaboration between movement and sound artists of diverse backgrounds, experiences and disciplines. A collective of independent artists who adopt roles of creators, performers, improvisers, score/script writers, makers.

In 2025, the collective (under previous name Chronology Arts Collective convened by Andrew Batt-Rawden) delivered 10 unique improvised performances, each facilitated and guided by a different member of the Collective.

We all have lifelong commitments to research of generative and collective  processes within an ethos of attentive listening and engagement with all aspects of our environments.

We develop our practice through regular skills exchange workshops, performances and technical training that draws on improvised and compositional approaches to sound and movement disciplines, including concert-music, theatre, dance and sound art.
