Brace Up!
February 1989–April 2003
Using a translation by Paul Schmidt, Brace Up! sets Anton Chekhov’s Three Sisters in a frame inspired by traditional Japanese theater forms with Chekhov’s maid acting as narrator in the manner of a benshi. The piece features The Wooster Group’s signature use of overlapping media mixing prerecorded images with live action broadcast from the stage and dances.
Media & Ephemera
Dailies
From 2010 to around 2020, the Dailies was an online video series begun by the Group’s resident filmmaker at the time Zbigniew Bzymek. Most of Dailies videos follow his relationship to the company and its work, offering glimpses into our rehearsals and archives, as well as short films, interviews, and other behind-the-scenes materials. Dailies videos in the “from the archives” series were curated by the Group’s archivist Clay Hapaz. View more of the project here.
