Brace Up! video
This video presentation of Brace Up!, our production of Anton Chekhov’s Three Sisters, incorporates close-ups of the performers simultaneously with continuous wide-angle footage. Recorded live at St. Ann’s Warehouse, Brooklyn, New York, in April 2003. Video designed by Ken Kobland and Elizabeth LeCompte.
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.
