Here, we are diving into critical discussions that are immediately relevant to the social and political life of our community and state. We are honored that the Governor and his staff have committed to partner with us on this talk.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The conversation will focus on the housing crisis in Colorado and the desire to create creative districts in cities and towns. The challenges of gentrification will be discussed: how does an artistic district encourage cultural diversity while avoiding gentrification and pricing-out the artists who help add to that diversity?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe ethos of the Visual and Performing Arts Department is an integration of arts and a commitment to university and community connections,\u201d Landis said. \u201cWorking with Johnny Mancini, a UCCS film studies student, for a Lecture Series affiliated with the Theatre and Dance program, and with a Theatreworks event that directly engages the Colorado Springs community, is a perfect encapsulation of our goals.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Prologue is sponsored by the Chancellor\u2019s Office, Theatreworks, the Department of Visual and Performing Arts, and the College of Letters, Arts and Sciences. The series consists of theatre talks, performances and hands-on workshops with national theater leaders throughout the academic year.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_34928\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-34928\" style=\"width: 740px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/communique.uccs.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/IMG_0088.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-34928 size-large\" src=\"http:\/\/communique.uccs.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/IMG_0088-750x563.jpg\" alt=\"Recording in the governor's office.\" width=\"740\" height=\"555\" srcset=\"https:\/\/communique.uccs.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/IMG_0088-750x563.jpg 750w, https:\/\/communique.uccs.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/IMG_0088-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/communique.uccs.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/IMG_0088-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/communique.uccs.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/IMG_0088-326x245.jpg 326w, https:\/\/communique.uccs.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/IMG_0088-80x60.jpg 80w, https:\/\/communique.uccs.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/IMG_0088-174x131.jpg 174w, https:\/\/communique.uccs.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/IMG_0088-70x53.jpg 70w, https:\/\/communique.uccs.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/IMG_0088-150x113.jpg 150w, https:\/\/communique.uccs.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/IMG_0088-1400x1050.jpg 1400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 740px) 100vw, 740px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-34928\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Johnny Mancini, left, a UCCS film studies student, and Nathan Mithcell, right, work to capture the interview with Governor John Hickenlooper in his office at the state capitol Sept. 14<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>Housing, arts and gentrification will be the subject for discussion in the next Prologue series event in collaboration with the Colorado Governor\u2019s Office at 2:30 p.m. Sept. 30 at the Dusty Loo Bon Vivant Theater.  <a class=\"mh-excerpt-more\" href=\"https:\/\/communique.uccs.edu\/?p=34911\" title=\"Prologue partners with Governor&#8217;s Office for Sept. 30 event\">(More)<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":34912,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[1,45],"tags":[53,62,86,60,275,91,299,102],"class_list":["post-34911","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-all","category-arts-and-culture","tag-academic-affairs","tag-chancellors-office","tag-college-of-letters-arts-and-sciences","tag-student-success","tag-theatreworks","tag-uccs-presents","tag-uccs-theatre-company","tag-visual-and-performing-arts-department"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/communique.uccs.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/IMG_0139_Facetune_16-09-2018-19-35-16.jpg","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p1mBpJ-955","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/communique.uccs.edu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/34911","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/communique.uccs.edu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/communique.uccs.edu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/communique.uccs.edu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/communique.uccs.edu\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=34911"}],"version-history":[{"count":7,"href":"https:\/\/communique.uccs.edu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/34911\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":34957,"href":"https:\/\/communique.uccs.edu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/34911\/revisions\/34957"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/communique.uccs.edu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/34912"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/communique.uccs.edu\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=34911"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/communique.uccs.edu\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=34911"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/communique.uccs.edu\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=34911"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
