Biography
Ian Watson is Coordinator of the Theatre Program at Rutgers University and a member of the editorial committee of New Theatre Quarterly.
`Ian Watson has written this study `from the inside', having spent several years with Barba and the Odin company. Ian Watson uncovers the secrets, and in so doing has to face up to the criticisms that have sometimes been made of Barba's methods. This he does with great honesty and scholarly integrity, confirming our sense of Barba's importance for contemporary performance research.' - Theatre Reserch Intl
