Butler International Theatre Exchange
Butler 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.
