What's in Your Gut?
2017-10-11 19:00 - 20:30 | Denver Museum of Nature and Science, 2001 Colorado Blvd., Denver, CO, 80205, United States
As you’re probably well aware, there’s a lot going on in your gut, but did you realize our intestines have a place in history? Jessica Metcalf, assistant professor of animal sciences at Colorado State University, uses microbes preserved in coprolites (ancient fecal material) to characterize the gut microbiome of ancient humans, allowing her to map how our intestines have changed over time, particularly in the recent past due to western practices, such as widespread use of antibiotics, high-fat diets, and intense hygiene practices. Get up close and personal with these microscopic organisms, and find out the implications Metcalf’s research has for human health.

In recent years, Ai’s outspoken stance regarding freedom of expression and basic human rights for all people has established him as leader in the conversation concerning humanity today. In honor of the inauguration of the year-long presentation of Ai Weiwei’s “Circle of Animals/Zodiac Heads” sculpture series in Denver, this public lecture will present a brief overview of Ai’s personal history with a focus on his singular narrative within the field of global contemporary art and beyond.

Looking Forward: Demographic Change, Economic Shifts, and the Role of the Arts
2017-10-19 08:00 - 10:00 | McNichols Building in Civic Center Park, 144 W Colfax Ave, Denver, CO, United States
Looking Forward: Demographic Change, Economic Shifts, and the Role of the Arts
a conversation with Manuel Pastor
Denver—like much of the metropolitan United States—is experiencing a combination of demographic and economic change. While increasing diversity is welcomed by many, it is feared by others. These diverging views are playing out against a backdrop of growing income segregation and inequality, which seeds economic despair, increases tensions and isolates communities. and enjoyment. The arts can be an important tool to address these broader social dynamics – art can advance inclusivity and equity, and promote community empowerment, inter-group understanding and metropolitan prosperity. This speaker series will bring into focus how these dynamics are playing out in both Denver and across the United States, and highlight how the arts can support community inclusion and advance organizations’ goals.This presentation will lift up how these dynamics are playing out in both Denver and the United States and highlight how a nation that is itself facing sharp generational, and racial divisions—as well as proposals to eliminate national arts funding—can center equity as part of arts programming.
Dr. Manuel Pastor is Professor of Sociology and American Studies & Ethnicity at the University of Southern California. He currently directs the Program for Environmental and Regional Equity (PERE) at USC and USC’s Center for the Study of Immigrant Integration (CSII). Pastor holds an economics Ph.D. from the University of Massachusetts, Amherst, and is the inaugural holder of the Turpanjian Chair in Civil Society and Social Change at USC.

Inside the Orchestra: Tiny Tots
2017-10-21 09:30 - 10:30 | McNichols Building in Civic Center Park, 144 W Colfax Ave, Denver, CO, United States
Tiny Tots gets children truly “inside the orchestra” by seating the audience on the floor and surrounding them with our 30+ piece professional orchestra. The conductor faces the audience and talks directly to the kids throughout the performance, asking questions and teaching them about the music as it is playing around them.
Designed for children six and under, Tiny Tots is a 45-minute program that gives young ones the chance to interact with the conductor and the musicians and learn about the instruments in the process. Children are encouraged to respond to different elements of the music, from thinking about how music makes them feel to getting on their feet and moving. They are treated to up-close-and-personal demos by various instruments, introduced to musical concepts, emotional understanding of the arts, and artistic expression. The music selection, design, and scripting of Tiny Tots is geared to connect very young children with music – physically, emotionally, and mentally. Children are also encouraged to take a closer look at the instruments and ask questions of the musicians after the concert has concluded. Every Tiny Tots event includes guest performers from some of our cultural partner organizations.
Tiny Tots was named in Denver Westword’s “Best of Denver” 2017. The experience is one-of-a-kind!
[Tiny Tots tickets are a suggested $9.95 for anyone over the age of 12 months. Discounts and financial consideration are available to those with financial hardship. If you need assistance, please contact info@insidetheorchestra.org, or by phone at 303-355-7855.]

FIELD TRIP: Dikeou Collection
2017-10-21 11:00 - 12:00 | Dikeou Collection, 1615 California St, Denver, CO, 80202, United States
Discover a hidden Denver gem! The Dikeou Collection is a Contemporary Art Collection in Downtown Denver that was established in 1998 by siblings, Devon Dikeou and Pany Dikeou, and features works by approximately 30 international artists.
This place is an experience. After entering the building at 1615 California, one takes an old elevator up to the fifth floor and when the doors open it feels like you’re a world away from the busy energy of modern life that’s playing out on the 16th Street Mall below. Is this the 1940s? The 1930s? The retro style of the space is disarming and provides a fascinating counterbalance to the very fresh contemporary art, which is displayed in a series of converted offices.
Our exclusive Go Play Denver Field Trip to Dikeou will feature a guided tour with Hayley Richardson, Director of the Dikeou Collection.
