According to Jeff Mapes of The Oregonian, the Oregon Legislature today passed the " $855 million rebalancing plan." This plan includes taking "$1.8 million out of the Oregon Cultural Trust's account to help balance the budget." This money was generated from sale of the Culture license plates.
Shame on them.

Creative Adventurer: I'm a writer who can often be found in cafes at odd hours with a latte and a laptop (during the pandemic my living room replaces the cafe), or with pen and paper in the car between gigs (alone time in the car still happens, the in-person gigs are on hold). I'm a sign language interpreter whose passion is performance interpreting, which integrates years of theatrical experience, creativity, and interpreting (all of which is virtual during the pandemic). I am also a writing facilitator and peer editor, performance interpreting mentor, and performance & literary event interpreting coordinator.

I will randomly change the Contact Improv videos from a growing collection. Check back for a few minutes of time out, for watching corporeal connection through dance.
Contact Improv is about relationship, connection, creating and sharing space.
this simply infuriates me. and if another non-art-related trust was being misappropriated like this, i'd still be mad.
ReplyDeleteYes, indeed!
