After romance, I returned to simmering plots and listening minds.

testimonial:

“Between velvety smooth and captivating voice, seductive gaze and imaginative and eloquent language, Alex possesses almost magical ability to transport you to places and fantasies of your choice. His tales, whatever theme you choose, are sumptuous and rich, spellbinding and inspiring, enlightened and loving. Scheherazade and One Thousand and One Nights comes to mind not least because you will be left wishing for many more stories to come.” J.Dolejsova

THE POWER OF STORY

Stories are part of the very essence of being human. For a million years we made up stories to make sense of life, we told stories to share the things we fear and things we desire.

This primal need is still in us. We don't often sit around the fire, nowadays, but we download books, we binge-watch series, we gorge on stories with the same enthusiasm as our ancestors. Media knows this, politicians know it, smart business knows it; they all try to get to us by creating narratives we can relate to, narratives we can - often literally - buy into.

To tell a good story, then, isn't merely an artistic endeavour, it's a survival technique, essential in our understanding of the world and in communicating our thoughts and needs with those around us. Every parent needs this talent, every leader and employer, every friend and lover, every human being. The good news is, it's a talent we can all develop.

STORY ALCHEMY is an interactive experience that demonstrates the magic of a good story, and empowers the audience to think of themselves as storytellers.

ALEX, the Story Alchemist conjures up a tale 'on the spot'. Taking random elements offered by the audience - a theme, a genre, a name, a colour, a place, an object or similar - he weaves them all into a brand new coherent and exciting narrative.

Story Alchemy CIRCLES are lots of fun. The gathered audience is immersed in a brand new story Alex creates for them out of a few random words they have offered. A unique opportunity to entertain and inspire guests at small private events, big parties and business events.

Story Alchemy WORKSHOPS offer both the tale and the learning. In Part One, Alex conjures up a story, in Part Two he explains the methods he used - three-act structure, coming up with gripping events, intriguing characters and more. In Part Three, the audience gets to examine possible practical applications of what they've learned - improving communications, team building, winning support from stakeholders and more.
