Narrative Alchemy are a UK based production company that specialise in developing and delivering Narrative Based Creative Interventions (NBCI's).   We work throughout the UK, across a range of both public and private sector settings, including schools, colleges, universities, the NHS, social services, prisons, police forces, the MoD, the corporate sector, and public performances.

Each strand of our work is carefully crafted to meet its audience where they are, using the transformative power of story to educate, engage, inspire and entertain.

Narrative-Based Creative Interventions (NBCIs) are purposefully designed projects that use storytelling as the primary mechanism for change.

Rather than beginning with a fixed artform, NBCIs begin with intent. We start by asking what we want participants to think, feel, and/or know at the end of a project, and what obstacles may sit in the way of that change. Only once those questions are clearly understood do we decide on the most effective way to deliver the work.

This means that the medium is never predetermined.

An NBCI might take the form of an applied theatre ply, a short film, a facilitated workshop, a training programme, a storytelling event, a story-exchange, or a hybrid approach. The form follows the function. The narrative always comes first.
