Entelechy Arts is a participatory arts company based in south east 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.

Featured project
A 21st Century Tea Dance
Entelechy’s legendary Tea Dance returned on the theme of LOVE on 25th October 2011. From khatak dance to heartbreaking poetry, the joy of jive and indie rock, it had something for everyone to fall in love with. Curated by our team of older artists and hosted by the inimitable Ida Barr.
“It’s a great inspiration to show my children and grandchildren what is possible if you put your mind to it”
