BodyVox entertains audiences with breathtaking physicality, striking imagery and belly-laugh inducing wit and whimsy. Based in Portland, Oregon, the Company’s movement surges from a source informed by years of cross training imbued with a curiosity and fascination with the endless possibilities of the human body in motion. Artistic Directors Jamey Hampton and Ashley Roland are distinguished artists on the world stage, formed by their years working as creators and performers with innovative dance companies Momix, ISO Dance, and Pilobolus. BodyVox builds upon this tradition of excellence with a unique voice that is clearly influenced by its Northwest roots.

Adding to its full-evening shows and repertory pieces, BodyVox’s films have won numerous awards in national and international festivals. “Modern Daydreams” – composed of “Treadmill Softly,” “Islands in the Sky, “Unleashed” and “Deere John” – won the prestigious American Choreography Award for Outstanding Achievement in Short film in 2002.

Frame Central has been the frugal framer's choice for over a decade. We started with just one framing warehouse in Portland and now we've got several stores serving the greater Portland and greater Seattle areas.

The gallery exhibits and represents contemporary artists. Established in 1995, it recently relocated to the DeSoto Building.

It has become de rigeur for foodies to know whence their table fare came. Now an outdoor clothing producer has opened its business wide so that consumers can trace their clothes back to their origin.

And it's not an oil well.

Unlike the outdoor wear that is made from oil-based synthetics, Icebreaker, a small outdoor-apparel business based in New Zealand, uses merino wool, a lightweight, strong and silky-soft natural fabric, for all of its clothes.

Merino, of course, comes off the backs of sheep. These particular sheep live the good life in the southern Alps of New Zealand, where the temperatures range from really cold to really hot. As a result, these big-horned beauties have evolved to have a super-fine, super-thick fleece. The fine fibres allow it to breathe in the hot summer months, while the thick winter coat keeps them warm.

Those fine fibres aren't itchy because they flex when they come in contact with skin.

Italian designers have long used merino for men's suits and fine sweaters, but now it is gaining a lot of traction in the active-wear world because it's so great at wicking moisture and holding warmth if you are caught in a downpour.

Since the first mention in written history of the warrior horsemen of Tibet, life on the Himalayan plateau has continued as it was for centuries. Tugs developed as a domestic craft - they were necessary and easily portable equipment. Horsemen rode on wooden saddles cushioned by rugs. Families went on pilgrimages taking their rugs as sleeping mats. Week-long picnics were organized and rugs lay around colorfully embroidered tents to serve as furniture. In their monasteries, lamas and monks sat upon rugs in rows during meditation and prayer. Used by aristocrat and commoner alike, rugs were cushion, sleeping mat, insulation against winter drafts and decoration.

Today the Tibetan rug craft not only survives, but thrives in displaced Tibetan communities - especially within those living in Nepal. Still woven are rugs whose designs and symbols date far back into their cultural history. Although most of the production today has now been suited to modern markets and has been subject to western cultural influences.

Tibetan rugs are cherished by lovers of the beauty, their colors warm the spirit and designs speak to the universal yearning for truth and beauty. One must own a Tibetan rug to fully realize its intricacies of design and know the pleasure of possessing a fine, totally handmade work of art.

Green your home with all natural rugs. Wool rugs are natural, durable and sustainable and provide another excellent opportunity for people to “green” their homes and offices. The inherent strength of wool used in rugs has the potential to last for generations. Wool also provides many other benefits that address consumer concerns when considering an investment in rugs. Wool fibers are inflammable and resistant to fire, the natural fibers produce lanolin (oil) that helps repel liquid spills and dirt, and, wool rugs cut down on humidity and resist static electricity. Another strong fiber now being used to make rugs is hemp and NW Rugs carries the new Verde collection of hemp rugs in contemporary, neutral designs.
