Beginnings in Narrative Arts Practices
STORYOGRAPHY … A BRAVE NEW WORLD
Introduction
Welcome to Narrative Arts Practices, shortly ‘NAP.’ Narrative Arts Practices is our expression of the combination of narrative practices, primarily in the tradition of Narrative Therapy and Community Work, with all things art.
The foundational course is entitled STORYOGRAPHY… A BRAVE NEW WORLD, where you will engage respectively with the power of image, the power of sound, the power of word and the power of movement
How will it benefit you to enroll for this online course?
- You will immerse yourself in the foundations of narrative practices and experience the incorporation of various art forms in your work in an innovative, participative manner.
- You will work independently and at your own speed within the course framework.
- Learners can effectively commence From time to time we will take in global or regional cohorts to capitalize on communality and joint learning. Where applicable, learners who started out on their own can catch up to a cohort.
- The mode of learning is fully online and interactive with assignment submissions to social media feeds, contact with lecturers on the authoritative social media Facebook page (Narrative Arts Practices) with ad hoc video engagement with either other group members and/or the lecturers.
- This is a course where you will not only learn to use, but also experience the power of narrative arts practices to enrich your own and others’ stories
- Your imagination is your co-traveler on this journey as a very desired travelling companion
- This is a hands-on, participative course. You will find yourself involved in prescribed activities for the purpose of completing your assignments that will challenge you and move you to previously unknown terrains.
- We believe in the power of community and therefore invite you to become a part of the Narrative Arts Practices community; a community without geographical boundaries, but one united in the ethics of narrative and the passion for the arts.
- Whether you are a seasoned narrative practitioner or a novice setting out on this new journey, Narrative Arts Practices will empower you and stimulate you to work in ever more creative ways.
- Learners don’t necessarily have to be able to dance, play the piano, or be an accomplished stage actor. This course enables you to facilitate narrative conversations in any context incorporating all forms of art, breathing new ideas into your work.
- Irrespective of your setting, whether it is individual, couples, family, organizational or group work, this course is for you.
- Irrespective of whether you are involved in therapy, coaching, facilitation or other modalities, completing the course in Narrative Arts Therapy will invite you to work ever more experientially with the arts.
Narrative Arts Practices differs significantly from other related arts therapies. The ethics, practices and world view that narrative therapy brings to this work remains our guiding principles and act as lamp posts along the way.
Our first, and foundational online course is called ‘Storyography: A Brave new world…’ Here we begin to bring different worlds together. Once you have successfully completed the online course, rest assured that the journey does not end there. More specialized online courses are also in development, beyond the foundational course, where learners will have the opportunity to be more focused and select only those art forms which they are most interested in (whether photography, architecture, fine arts and much more).

Registration
Professional registration for Narrative Arts Practitioners
Due to the unique nature of narrative practice, with its ability to cross different modalities such as between therapy, coaching, to facilitation the NAP programs are accepted and registered with Signo.
Upon completion of the programme one has to maintain a yearly membership with Signo. Signo sets out to establish an interdisciplinary voluntary global professional body for collaborative and related practices such as narrative work (it does not matter whether it is in management or leadership, specifically focused on counseling, collaborative law or other professionals). As such Signo can assist when practitioners have to migrate from counseling to, for instance, coaching for particular job requests by companies.
