Oh Amnesia, what are the pleasures without which I cannot live?

Interrupture is a group of experimental writers based in Seattle. The group writes pieces designed for specific occasions and sites, revising lines according to various procedures and arranging each piece into a score which the group performs by following the rules of a game. The game typically begins with a challen…ge to choose a conductor, who directs the others by hand signals until the conductor is challenged and replaced by another. Chance operations propel multiple voices through a myriad of potential textual renderings. Since 2007, Interrupture has performed in many locations in and around Seattle, including 911, the Canoe Club, Subtext Reading Series, Breadline, Shard, Smoke Farm, the City Arts Festival, and the Frye Art Musem’s Moment Magnitude exhibition. Current members who perform in and/or write for Interrupture are Bryant Mason, Daniel Comiskey, Annalisa Pesek, Curtis Bonney, Cristin Miller, Jason Conger, C.E. Putnam, Kreg Hasegawa and Doug Nufer.
