Local performance poets The Typing Explosion were featured in this half-hour documentary created by Cynthia Rose during her residency at 911. The piece attempts to creatively convey both the group's unique spectacle (equal parts audio art and wordless performance) and their distinct individual perspectives. The piece was created in collaboration with Typing Explosion performers Rachel Kessler, Sierra Nelson, and Sarah Polle. The Typing Explosion has performed at numerous venues in Seattle and up and down the West Coast. Their play Dear Diane, premiered at On the Boards in 2001, performing to sold-out crowds and rave critical reviews.

The Typing Explosion and Cynthia Rose's documentary were featured at Gallerie Holly Snapp during the 2003 Venice Bienniale, getting rave reviews from audiences and European press.
