Louise Jeffreys, Director of Arts at the Barbican said: "I am absolutely thrilled that Toni Racklin and I have been presented with the Peter Brook Special Achievement Award.
"At the Barbican we are committed to bringing the very best international theatre companies to London, as well as providing a platform for emerging artists to showcase their work, so we are delighted that our work has been recognised with this very special honour at the 25th anniversary of the Empty Space Awards."
The Awards, now in their 25th year, were presented by London TheatrReviews, the Victoria & Albert Museum Theatre Department and the National Theatre Studio (where the event was held).
