Butterfly Theatre Company

Butterfly Theatre Company was formed in 2011 by Chief Artistic Director Aileen Gonsalves, who has been working extensively across the industry for over 25 years, including many years at the RSC. At Butterfly we specialise in immersive theatre with a focus on truthful, authentic and moment to moment performance that makes the audience feel something real. This is our passion and our purpose. Our live, site-responsive theatre productions breathe new life into unusual, extraordinary and beautiful locations. We have performed in many amazing places across the UK and internationally including caves, castles and ancient woodlands, just to name a few. We also do immersive online shows and workshops as part of our digital programme, meaning we can share our work with anyone, anywhere, no matter where you are in the world! Through our education and training programme we empower, encourage and educate our students to be responsive and affectible and to find their unique voice and point of view, through creativity and performance.
