ODOT BOOSTS BUSINESS
FOR OREGON COMPANIES
Oregon businesses are finding opportunities
for growth with the Oregon Department
of Transportation's OTIA III State Bridge
Delivery Program.
Other materials suppliers, design and
construction firms, specialty contractors, and
local businesses also are benefiting from the
increased construction work.
The bridge program is repairing or replacing
more than 300 bridges on Oregon's highways.
It is also designed to stimulate Oregon’s
economy. And it's working.

Sensory saturation and deprivation, m anipulation
and restraint, inhuman appearances, disquieting and
visceral sound; these are the elem ents o f “ Benum bed,”
a new collaboration between choreographer Angelle
Hebert and com poser Phillip Kraft.
"In a society w here our senses are constantly being
bom barded with m edia and com m ercialism , we w ere
interested in exploring the effect this has on us as
individuals: our ability to filter through inform ation,
m aintain a sense o f individual thought, and avoid the
m ind-num bingeffects o f constant stim ulation,” explained
Hebert. “ W e began by experim enting with extrem es,
im provising while depriving ourselves o f sensory stim u
lus, as well as taking each o f the senses separately and
investigating the possibilities.”
“ Benum bed” perform ances are April 7-9 at the Inter
state Firehouse Cultural Center, 5340 North Interstate
Ave. Friday and Saturday perform ances are 8 p.m., and
a Sunday m atinee is at 2 p.m. A dm ission is $10 for
students, seniors, and w orking artists, and $ 12 for g en “Benumbed" is a collaborative performance
