Un viaggio nella visione coreografica di Alessandra Ruggeri, tra tecniche urbane e contemporanee, identità in trasformazione e sperimentazione condivisa con i danzatori del Misanga Dance Company. Oggi ai microfoni di Unica Radio abbiamo avuto il piacere di incontrare Alessandra Ruggeri, coreografa e direttrice artistica della Misanga Dance Company, ospite al FIND 2025. In occasione dell'evento, Ruggeri terrà una Masterclass di Urban Fusion venerdì 21 novembre, dalle 12 alle 14, presso la Scuola di Danza Assunta Pittaluga. Un percorso aperto a danzatori di ogni stile, dedicato alla fusione tra tecniche urbane e contemporanee. La stessa sera, a Sa Manifattura , Ruggeri porterà in scena Hà-Bi-Tùs, un lavoro che indaga l'identità e il rapporto tra corpi ereditati e costruiti, selezionato per la Vetrina della Giovane Danza d'Autore – Network Anticorpi XL 2024. Urban Fusion: libertà, contaminazione e linguaggi che si incontrano Per Ruggeri, fondere linguaggi urbani e contemporanei significa aprire uno spazio di libertà comunicativa. Grazie alla padronanza delle tecniche, il corpo diventa un canale capace di raccontare molto più del semplice gesto: un vero linguaggio coreografico, personale e in continua trasformazione. L'Urban Fusion permette di superare i limiti degli stili codificati, attingendo alle peculiarità di ogni tecnica per ricreare ogni volta nuove possibilità espressive. Il suo lavoro di ricerca sul movimento parte sempre dalle caratteristiche dei danzatori: con professionisti si parte dalla tecnica per poi stravolgerla, con amatori o attori si lavora su sensazioni, immagini, gesti istintivi. L'obiettivo è guidare ciascuno verso una fisicità autentica, contaminata ma coerente. Hà-Bi-Tùs: il corpo come abito, radice e trasformazione Hà-Bi-Tùs nasce da una riflessione sul corpo come luogo di eredità e costruzione. L'opera prende ispirazione dal concetto di “indossare panni non nostri”: abitudini, comportamenti, strutture sociali che diventano una seconda pelle. La scenografia – un patchwork di abiti personali delle danzatrici Anya e Kyda Pozza – diventa metafora delle identità che accumuliamo. Essere selezionati dal Network Anticorpi XL ha rappresentato per Ruggeri e il collettivo un momento cruciale: una vetrina nazionale che ha permesso allo spettacolo di viaggiare e trovare nuovo pubblico, consolidando un progetto già maturo. Comunità, visioni e ciò che resta al pubblico Come direttrice artistica della Misanga Dance Company, Ruggeri cerca nei danzatori unicità, consapevolezza e desiderio di ricerca. La fusione tra mondi urbani e contemporanei genera un linguaggio condiviso, interdipendente, vivo. Al pubblico di Hà-Bi-Tùs Ruggeri augura di portare con sé un frammento personale, un ricordo o una sensazione che dialoghi con il racconto scenico, ai partecipanti della masterclass, invece, la speranza è quella di ritrovare energia, curiosità e libertà dal giudizio, per abitare davvero il proprio corpo.

Living in greener neighborhoods is linked to significantly fewer hospitalizations for mental illness, including depression, anxiety, psychosis, and dementia A global analysis of 11.4 million cases found that just a small increase in vegetation density reduced mental health hospital admissions by 7% Urban residents experienced the strongest benefits — cities with more parks and tree-lined streets saw 13% fewer psychiatric hospitalizations Researchers discovered that the ideal balance for mental well-being is when about half your surroundings are green; both too little and too much vegetation reduce benefits Spending at least 30 minutes a day in moderate greenery, walking outdoors, or adding plants to your home helps lower stress hormones, boost focus, and improve emotional resilience

My guest today has created some of the most beautiful houses in America. Perhaps I am biased, because if I ever build my own house, I know that Tom Kundig will design it. If he agrees Over the course of his four-decade career, he has built museums, wineries, universities, foundations, retail andcommercial buildings. But the touchstone of his work, and for what he became known, is the single-family house. His houses reflect his passion for the mountains, for the natural world, and for fine art. The private house to him, reflectthe sense of humanity in architecture.If to Le Corbusier the house was a machine to live in, toTom Kundig the house is a sculpture to live in and a place to experiment. His houses are also strongly connected to the landscape and to the surrounding nature in the most organic way, whether it is in an urban fabric or a house in the countryside. Urban or rural, his houses are a reflection of their place.Now that his new and comprehensive monograph—the definitive collection of his 462 residential works —has been published, it is time to explore what makes Tom Kundig's houses so magical, memorable, and beautiful.

Matt Faircloth interviews Lindsay Greene about how the Brooklyn Navy Yard evolved from a historic shipyard into a modern 300-acre industrial ecosystem that now houses 550+ businesses. Lindsay explains the Yard's transformation—from 1800s wooden-ship buildings to today's mix of TV/film soundstages, food manufacturers, tech incubators, and light industrial tenants—while highlighting its deep legacy as a hub of jobs, innovation, and opportunity. She walks Matt through how public-private partnerships power their redevelopment model, including layered capital stacks, long-term ground leases, and collaborative fit-out financing. Finally, she outlines the Yard's future plans for new multi-story industrial buildings, mid-scale manufacturing space, and opportunities for private developers or investors who want to partner on underutilized sites.

Urban trees don't have to become waste. With the right approach, they can be transformed into sustainable, high-quality wood products that reduce carbon footprints and strengthen local communities. In this episode of the Woodpreneur Podcast, host Jennifer Alger sits down with Paul Hickman, founder of Urban Ashes, to explore the critical importance of urban wood utilization. Paul shares his fascinating journey from the scenic arts industry to creating sustainable products from urban wood, with a particular focus on ash trees affected by the devastating Emerald Ash Borer. His work demonstrates how trees that would otherwise end up in landfills can become valuable resources for woodworkers, builders, and communities. You'll hear about the Urban Wood Project and its impact on local communities, Paul's transition from manufacturing wood products to consulting and education, and why urban wood utilization is essential for reducing carbon footprints. Paul emphasizes the need for increased education and awareness about urban wood, the importance of establishing industry standards, and the valuable role organizations like the Climate Smart Wood Group play in promoting sustainable practices. This conversation dives into both the challenges and opportunities facing the urban wood movement, from building market demand to creating infrastructure that supports salvage and milling operations. Whether you're a woodworker looking for sustainable materials, interested in urban forestry and environmental impact, or curious about how communities can turn a tree crisis into economic opportunity, this episode offers compelling insights and actionable ideas.

In the summer heat of Birmingham, children faced police dogs and fire hoses. On a bus in Montgomery, a 15-year-old refused to stand. From Claudette Colvin to Rosa Parks, from Greensboro counters to the March on Washington—the Civil Rights Movement shook America awake. Yet, even as laws changed, maps and mortgages quietly redrew the lines of belonging.In this episode of Built to Divide, Dimitrius Lynch tracks what happened after the marches. The Civil Rights Act outlawed discrimination, but zoning boards found new tools to enforce it. Highways tore through Black neighborhoods in San Francisco and Detroit. Urban renewal became “Negro removal.” Birmingham forced the country to look. Kennedy named it a moral crisis. Johnson created HUD, appointing Robert C. Weaver, the first Black cabinet secretary. Then came the pivot—Section 235, 236, vouchers, block grants, Pruitt-Igoe, Moses vs. Jacobs, Nixon's New Federalism, and a shift from building homes to subsidizing rent.This is the story of how a movement won rights—but lost ground in planning rooms, mortgage offices, and zoning maps. How public housing gave way to vouchers. How the market replaced the public builder. And how America traded homes as social infrastructure for housing as financial asset.If you want to understand why affordability collapsed, why public housing withered, why vouchers fall short, and how modern inequality took shape—Episode 4 shows the pivot point.Episode Extras - Photos, videos, sources and links to additional content found during research.

On this Weekly Spooky Christmas horror special, we're heading back to Strickfield, Ohio for a night of folklore, family traditions, and a Krampus visit that feels a little too real. When Daisy May Donnerly, Carnelian Mirren, and the ever-hungry Ol' McDonald settle in on Christmas Eve, all they're supposed to do is leave milk and cookies for Santa—because on this farm, that's not just a cute ritual, it's a rule. Break the tradition, and the “bad version” of Santa might just come calling.  This Christmas horror story blends old-world folklore with cozy country charm and truly chilling consequences. As a sudden blizzard slams the farm and a sleigh appears in the sky, the girls realize too late that the reindeer are skeletal, the driver isn't jolly, and they've accidentally invited Krampus into their home. From ripped-off doors to undead reindeer and a bottomless sack for naughty children, this night of holiday terror pushes Daisy and Carnelian to outrun something you can't escape: broken traditions and disbelief. Perfect for listeners who love Christmas horror stories, urban legends come to life, and eerie anthologies that feel like they could be whispered around a fireplace, this episode combines small-town winter atmosphere with mature themes, jump-scare tension, and a creeping sense that the “dream” might not be a dream at all. If Krampus folklore, cozy-but-deadly farmhouses, and spooky stories set on Christmas Eve are your thing, this tale is going to slide down your chimney and refuse to leave.Pull on a sweater, pour some cocoa, and press play for Milk, Cookies, and Krampus, a Christmas Eve horror story that asks a simple question: What if forgetting Santa's snack meant Krampus came instead?Milk, Cookies, and Krampus — by Rob Fields.

Terrifying & True returns with dark Christmas horror rooted in real Alpine folklore and chilling winter horror stories. Long before cozy Hallmark snowfalls, families in the high Alps spent the Twelve Nights of Christmas fearing a “Christmas Witch” who might reward your hard work… or split you open and stuff you with straw if you broke her rules. This is the terrifying legend of Frau Perchta and her horned horde, the Perchten – where festive lights, fasting days, and spinning wheels turn into a deadly checklist for survival.  In this holiday special, we dive into the eerie, mature side of winter tradition, where spooky stories, urban legends, and brutal morality tales kept entire villages in line through the darkest nights of the year. If you crave Christmas horror that feels older and sharper than anything under the tree, this is your episode.Inside this episode:The rules of the Christmas Witch: Why Alpine families raced to finish their spinning, scrub their homes, and eat a strict Twelfth Night meal before Epiphany, terrified that one broken tradition could invite Perchta's knife.Belly-Slitter punishments straight out of horror stories: From trampled weaving to the infamous eviscerations stuffed with straw and stones, we unpack how this gruesome myth drove real-world discipline in a brutal winter landscape.From Bright Goddess to winter monster: How a once-benevolent “Bright One” and Lady of Epiphany was demonized by the Church into a sinister Christmas hag, complete with goose-foot, ragged robes, and a curse-laden black cloth.Wild Hunts and haunted Alpine nights: The chilling tales of Perchta's ghostly procession screaming across the winter sky, dragging lost souls and unbaptized children in her wake, and why villagers locked doors and clutched charms when the wind howled.The Perchten, Krampus, and other holiday terrors: Meet the beautiful and ugly Perchten, see how they inspired modern Krampus runs, and compare them to figures like Belsnickel and Père Fouettard in a full-blown Christmas rogues' gallery.Living traditions in the spooky season: How today's Perchtenläufe—massive parades of horned masks, cowbells, and towering headdresses—keep this eerie anthology of winter legends alive in the mountains, blending folk horror with festival fun.This episode is perfect for listeners who love folklore, chilling stories, and mature themes that turn cozy Christmas nostalgia into something far more eerie, scary, and unforgettable. When the holidays get too sweet, remember: in some places, kids didn't just fear coal in their stocking—they feared Frau Perchta at the door.We're telling that story tonight.

On today's show, host Douglas Haynes takes an inside look at innovative local efforts to teach young people through urban agriculture. Our guest is Brian Emerson of Rooted, a local nonprofit developing community connections through agriculture and food access.  Emerson comes from a long line of growers and says a lot of gardening is about paying attention. When he moved to Madison he got a plot at the Eagle Heights community garden where he learned from the international students and their families about growing in all kinds of ways. He's built a career around teaching others how to grow their own food for their families and for their communities.  At the Madison School Farm, Emerson runs programs for local schools, primarily field trips at the farm. Students get a full sensory experience of the garden, help out with garden chores, and cook a meal together. He says that kids love working with soil and that this year he's had a 90% success rate at getting kids to eat raw okra. They also gain valuable social-emotional skills from working together in the garden. He wants to partner with more school districts and create more opportunities and connect more small farms to grow food for schools. Emerson also works at the Grow Academy, a juvenile facility part of the Wisconsin Department of Corrections. He shows the kids in the program about how to read a seed packet and troubleshoot common gardening issues in order to foster a sense of peace and personal agency.  Brian Emerson is the Director of Urban Agriculture Education at Rooted. He is a native of Cedar Rapids and now is a Northside Madison resident. After graduating from the University of Iowa he worked with the USDA-NRCS on various mapping and watershed projects. Since 2004 he has been with the UW Madison trialing fruits, flowers, and veggies. Most recently, he served as Trial Manager for the Seed to Kitchen Collaborative in the Urban and Regional Food Systems program. In his free time, Brian works in his community coaching, teaching horticulture, and running a small urban farm. Featured image of urban agriculture via Rawpixel. Did you enjoy this story?

Just straight music, energy, and motion from start to finish. This one is built for the late-night grind, the early-morning hustle, the studio session, and every city block in between. Heavy rotation. Clean transitions. A full-throttle soundtrack for the culture. Turn it up. Let it ride. Feel the grind through the speakers.

Hosted by Wally Lockard III, J.D. and Sinista, this episode dives into the fearless journey of one of Chicago's most authentic creative voices. From bold, uncensored films that pack theaters and pull millions of views to series that challenge the culture and spark conversation, Jay Davis has built his name on truth and creativity without compromise. He's worked with legends like Janet Hubert, Rodney Perry, Leon Rogers, Damon Williams, and Roc Omari, and his trophy case keeps growing — including Urban Grind TV's Tastemaker Award, Best Independent Producer, and Best Independent Comedy Series. Now he's adding author to the list with his brand-new release “The Adventures of JD and Marcus,” a wild and witty story that captures his signature mix of humor, heart, and hustle.

Urban Grind Radio returns this week of November 10th with another powerful episode — Ep. 20, featuring Chicago's own Rico Heartbrk, with an exclusive Violator All-Star DJ Showtyme Mix setting the vibe for the night. Hosted by Sinista and Sheila G, this episode dives into the heart of hustle, heritage, and healing through music. Rico Heartbrk represents the Low End of Chicago — a true artist shaped by both city grit and suburban balance. Growing up moving between two homes after his parents separated, he found consistency in creativity, singing in church and honors choir before evolving into a full-fledged hip-hop artist. Music runs in his blood — his father made music in his younger days — and Rico carries that torch forward, determined to take the dream further than before. Now focused on his upcoming album Troubled Roses, Rico opens up about turning struggle into strength, preparing to open for Calboy in Atlanta, and staying grounded while chasing greatness. It's a story of pain, purpose, and perseverance — all powered by the grind.  Hosted by: Sinista & Sheila G  Guest: Rico Heartbrk @rockstarricoo  Featuring: Violator All-Star DJ Showtyme Mix @djshowtyme72025 Tune in now at UrbanGrindRadio.com Also streaming on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and iHeartRadio #UrbanGrindRadio #RicoHeartbrk #RockstarRicoo #DJShowtyme #ViolatorAllStarDJs #UrbanGrindTV #TroubledRoses #ChicagoHipHop #IndependentArtist #RealMusicRealStories #Episode20 #FromTheBoothToTheStreets #ChicagoMedia

  The World Bank reports that, "today, more than half of the world's population – over 4 billion people – lives in cities." It also estimates that this shift is going to continue, in fact to DOUBLE to nearly 70% – or 7 out of every 10 people will live in cities by 2050. That's only 25 years away. At the same time, extreme weather events are increasingly devastating cities – we have all witnesses how Hurricane Melissa decimated Jamaica last week, for example, destroying home and businesses, schools, houses of worship, government buildings, everything.
