Butler International Theatre Exchange

Butler International Theatre Project, 2004Butler is committed to experiencing theatre as a global art form, in theory and in practice. Significantly, we are the only undergraduate theatre program in the region, and one of only a few in the nation, actively engaged in international theatre projects.

Butler International Theatre Exchange was founded in 2002 by Butler Theatre Chair, John Green, focusing on the processes of creating live performance with master artists and theatre companies from around the world. The Exchange is structured around a 12-day intensive program of training held during Butler’s first summer session in May. Emphasis is on the development of acting technique, the process of creating performance and intercultural collaboration, culminating in a series of public performances.

Each workshop is process oriented, placing the emphasis on training and skill development and culminating in a series of shared performances of work-in-progress to the general public. Common to all workshops is the search for the present moment of performance. That’s the thrill of it and that’s what defines the living element of performance — the unrepeatable moment of now.
