At Butterfly Theatre Arts, we use the craft of theatre training to give your people the tools they need to speak with confidence, command a room, and deliver their message with genuine impact. This isn't presentation polish. It's a fundamental shift in how your team understands and uses their voice.

 

WHY THEATRE TRAINING WORKS FOR BUSINESS:

Actors spend years learning what most professionals are never taught — how to manage nerves, how to use silence, how to make eye contact that builds trust, how to make their words land. These are learnable skills. And they are transformative in a professional context.

With over 20 years of experience in theatre education and 15 years delivering corporate training, our sessions don't just teach technique — they give your people self-awareness. They leave knowing their own habits, their own patterns, and exactly what to work on. That self-knowledge is what makes the change stick.

 

WHAT MAKES OUR TRAINING DIFFERENT:

Every workshop is done with a small group and personalised feedback. Ensuring every single person in attendance gets individual attention, the notes they need to make changes, and the space to actually practice and grow. If your team is large, we simply split into smaller groups across a day or two so no one gets lost in the crowd.

This is hands-on, practical training. Your team won't sit through slides. They'll get on their feet, work through real techniques, and leave with tools they can use the very next day.








 

CORE — Speak with Confidence

The essential public speaking and presentation skills every professional needs, regardless of seniority. We work on voice, body language, structure, and managing nerves — so your team walks into any room ready to be heard.

Delivered as a 2–3 hour workshop, in-person or online. Ideal for: teams new to formal presenting, onboarding programmes, company-wide communication upskilling.









 

ELEVATE — Speak with Authority

For teams ready to go deeper. Building on core skills, this session works on advanced vocal dynamics, posture, gesture, and the structural techniques that turn competent speakers into compelling ones.

Delivered as a 2–3 hour workshop or full-day programme, in-person or online. Ideal for: mid-senior teams, leadership development programmes, client-facing professionals.






 

1-1 COACHING — Speak with Mastery
 

A specific moment is coming — a keynote, a pitch, a critical client presentation. This is bespoke, intensive coaching built entirely around one individual and the outcome they need to achieve. We work on the material, the delivery, the nerves, and the presence.

Delivered in-person or online, structured around your timeline. Ideal for: senior leaders, partners, executives, anyone with a high-stakes speaking moment approaching.


 

BESPOKE WORKSHOPS

Not every need fits a standard programme — and we'd rather build something that fits your team perfectly than deliver something off the shelf.

We also offer:

Team-building workshops — using theatre and performance techniques to build trust, communication, and cohesion across teams.

Assertiveness training — helping professionals find and use their voice in challenging situations, difficult conversations, and high-pressure environments. Particularly valuable for teams navigating leadership transitions or client-facing roles.

Tailored workshops — built around your specific organisational need. Whether that's presentation skills for a particular event, communication training for a new team, or something else entirely — we'll scope it together.
