At last someone has put the director at the center stage. Panovski's treatment forces us to 'look again' as we watch the twentieth-century revolution of the theatre take place. (Robert W. Corrigan, The University of Texas at Dallas) 'Directing Poiesis' is deeper, wiser and more truly artistic in its outlook than the usual texts in the field of theatre. It presents a coherent overview of the whole history and theory of directing and does not lose its commitment for its higher purpose in its pursuit of creative detail and excellence. The more thoughtful books on performance theory by writers like Herbert Blau or Richard Schechner, excellent though they are, assume a knowledge of the history and theory of directing and do not have the scope of Panovski's work. A book like 'Directing Poiesis' could become a classic. (Frederick Turner, The University of Texas at Dallas)
