The 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.

Additional contributors to the Dailies included guest filmmakers, such as Juliet Lashinsky-Revene, and other company members, among them Wooster Group director Elizabeth LeCompte.
