A group of people travel back and forwards in time, mixing history and the future, searching for a missing bit of history in an era of computers where data has been lost…

Care is the fabric of our work, and so it was a delight to be invited to celebrate poetry and artwork by our communities for the Festival of Radical Care…

Working scores can be used in improvisation as a loose or tight structure to help shape content, experiment with ideas, and mediate how a piece might unfold…

This film documents a series of live performances in November 2019 with Entelechy Arts’ Ambient Jam Collective which relocated to Goldsmiths CCA. Performers interacted with ‘loose parts’ and sculptural elements which were developed by Roland Carline, CCA artist in residence…

Still I don’t know where I’m going.

A poem by Lillian Bartholomew

Home brings past, future and everything together.

Residents at Tower Bridge care home describe how being part of a group cultivates a sense of home, which then creates the foundation from which to have new experiences.

Home: the space in-between us all by Rebecca Swift

How co-creation and confluence create a sense of home through shared experience.

Imagination takes us home: Walking through Walls. In 2016 long term residencies in three HC-one care homes were made possible with funding via the charity Attend.  One of these care homes – Tower Bridge Care Home – continues to be the epicentre for our creative research, informed and forged by the long-term collaboration between artists, residents and staff…

A sense of home can be found in the memory of our younger self meeting our older self as if time hadn’t existed. Doris tells her story while painting at Meet Me at the Albany…

In 2010 Entelechy arts began their first programme of long-term collaborations in care homes with a four-year residency at Manly Court nursing home in New Cross Gate. Manly Court became the site of an exciting creative hub co-created by residents, staff, family, friends and artists…

I’m sitting in-between Ruby and Gloria – two residents in a local care home. We are taking part in a weekly creative session with residents and care staff, in a tiny communal room in a nursing home in New Cross Gate…

Notions of Home is a compilation of essays, poems and drawings by the Entelechy Arts community of creatives (professional artists, members and volunteers), who share in a culture which co-creates a sense of belonging wherever we are in the journey through life.

Looking back at Entelechy’s history becomes a fascinating process of uncovering forgotten data. Recovering this ‘old’ information, which lives below the surface of our memories, brings into view previously out-of-sight and out-of-mind potential.

BRIDGE is about reaching out, across age and difference, about balance and construction, and how circus can be reinterpreted whatever age we are, even in a care home.

A few weeks ago I popped into an Ambient Jam session to re-immerse myself into its sensory, non-verbal landscape. Caught up with a pile of admin work, I hadn’t been for a while. My head was full of items I needed to complete and my energy distracted and primed in a speediness that answering countless emails does to our physiologies…

Whilst in the office piecing together Entelechy Arts’ archive, with photos going into carefully labelled boxes, I am reminded of the work we used to do and the people who informed the ideas we actualise today…
