To reserve your space in the San Francisco Communities Tour, please call
(405) 292-4172 by April 11, 2003.
The
2003 NCORE Communities Experience Tour is designed to explore the
distinctive social, ethnic and physical elements that have contributed
to the development of the "City by the Bay." The two scheduled
bus tours will reveal how immigration and migration, geographic site,
and the strategic Pacific Rim location have shaped and continue to redefine
this cosmopolitan metropolis. Social-cultural, geologic and economic forces
have created and maintained a unique landscape of enduring patterns, inter-cultural
relations and spatial accommodation. This tour will include visits to
historic and contemporary communities, districts and neighborhoods throughout
San Francisco and environs.
Each bus tour is limited to 55 persons and the cost is $25.00 per person.

In today's rapidly changing multicultural world, issues of race/ethnic
conflict, cultural values, language and other sensitive issues play an
increasingly important role in the quality of our life, work and societal
environment. Using theater as the catalyst for in-depth exploration and
discussion of these topics, the University of Wisconsin's Human Experience
Theater (HET) will provide you with a night to remember. HET will perform
signature pieces designed to help people think, feel and get involved.
By making the audience part of the process, everyone is engaged intellectually
and emotionally, thinking about how they would react to the real situation
they are witnessing. In the actual performance for this event the facilitators
will explain the dynamics of what is taking place and the process used
in assisting the audience in finding solutions. Additional information
will be provided on how the program was developed, how we engage with
our community, and how others might develop such a program. Dr. Richard
Kalfus, Professor of Humanities, and Department Chair from St. Louis Community
College will be participating in the discussion, and will provide an overview
of the impact of this program on the St. Louis campuses visited by the
HET group. Program participants include: Victoria Boswell, Program Manager;
Patrick Sims, Artistic Director; Pauli Taylorboyd, Facilitator; and a
cast of UWM undergraduate acting students.
