Dende Collective
Dendê Collective is a London-based theatre charity working at the intersection of performance, community, and cultural exchange. We create vibrant, inclusive projects that bring people together across generations and backgrounds to celebrate creativity, storytelling, and joyful connection. Since 2000, we’ve delivered a range of participatory arts programmes across London and beyond- from street theatre and clowning to mask-making, panto, and intergenerational performance. Our work with the 60+ community in Westminster has spanned more than 7 years, and 2025 marks our first major programme in Wandsworth with The Wandsworth Masquerade. We are passionate about creating accessible, imaginative spaces where people can meet, play, express themselves, and build confidence. No experience needed- just a willingness to explore!
Love Wandsworth
Wandsworth’s cultural scene is incredibly vibrant, diverse, and rooted in community. We love how it supports creativity at all levels-from grassroots groups to established organisations—and brings people together through bold, inclusive events like WAF and the London Borough of Culture. The borough’s openness to experimentation and its celebration of local voices create a genuine sense of belonging, which is what makes working here so special.
What makes Wandsworth a creative place to live and work?
Wandsworth is a creative place to live and work because of its strong sense of community, its celebration of cultural diversity, and its commitment to accessible, inclusive arts. The borough values both emerging and established artists, providing space and support for creative projects to flourish. There’s a real openness here- to new ideas, intergenerational exchange, and joyful collaboration—which makes it an inspiring and welcoming place for artists and participants alike.
