Overview

Entelechy Arts is a participatory arts company based in southeast London. Entelechy works with people of all ages, abilities and backgrounds to produce high-quality theatre, music, dance and video events and performances.

The company is skilled in creating work which brings together people who wouldn’t usually meet.
Working with their collaborative partners, the Albany, Entelechy has created a unique creative arts club for isolated older people:

• Meet Me at the Albany is a dynamic multi-stranded arts programme responding to the increasing needs and demands of isolated older people in our communities. Working closely with adult social care and cultural teams from Lewisham Council, Entelechy and the Albany have established a weekly, year-round programme supporting the development of emerging older artists creating new contexts for the co-creation of work by established artists and older people.

When: Every Tuesday, 10.30am – 2.30pm
For: Anyone over 60 who’d like another place to call home
Price: £6 includes lunch and activities. All materials included in the price, free tea and coffee.  Carers go free.

• Ambient Jam is a unique dance improvisation programme arising from long term collaborations with adults and young people who have profound and multiple disabilities. It explores movement and music with tactile sculpture at The Albany in Deptford twice a week. These improvisation sessions bring together members and volunteers with the team of dance artists, musicians and sculptors.

When: Monday and Friday afternoons between 2pm and 3.30pm.

For: People who have profound and complex needs

Price: £25. Carers go free
