Universities & Drama Schools

Butterfly offers training opportunities for higher education students at Universities and Drama schools, including residencies and workshops that we can deliver alongside or as part of their existing course.

Artist Residency

  • Artist Residency

    Your students will become a part of Butterfly’s ensemble of professional actors and work with our team to create their very own live or online show, directed/produced by us and starring the students themselves.

Workshops

 Working with Aileen and her team at Butterfly Theatre Company was even better than we could have hoped for. They are all infectiously fun to work with, you feel like you and they are part of one team, we were in it together creating something amazing. I genuinely feel working with Butterfly Theatre that I am amongst friends who are supporting and guiding me to be the best actor I can be. And that feels just great. Without a doubt the best time I have spent learning, developing and understanding what it means to act and how to do it truthfully. They engage with you on a personal and collegiate level making the learning fun and rewarding. Any apprehension of learning a new technique was quickly lost in the fun environment of learning – even under the constraints of Zoom. Each lesson was well planned, and the exercises were both fun and rewarding. Within a couple of days of working with Butterfly Theatre, I knew this new way of learning how to act truthfully was going to be the bedrock of my future career.”
