La musica egrave; unombra della vita vissuta. Nei suoni si raccontano esperienze interiori non definibili con le parole. Le parole; perograve;; possono; regredendo agli stati di coscienza precedenti il suono; ricostruire ciograve; che il compositore; nei suoni; ha inteso rendere universale. Il Teatro delle ombre cerca di raccontare la musica nella drammaturgia: renderla unesperienza emozionale mediante lempatia tra gli spettatori e colui che recita; sulla scena; gli eventi che in lui la musica provoca. Non ricorrendo a tecnicismi da conferenziere; evitando le astrazioni dellrsquo;approccio scientifico; il Teatro delle ombre permette al pubblico digiuno di musica di percepire il senso dei capolavori musicali mettendo in scena i loro effetti spirituali sugli attori del dramma: un modo innovativo di fare divulgazione attraverso linteragire tra i diversi linguaggi della musica e dellrsquo;azione teatrale. I testi che qui si presentano rappresentano un viaggio nellarte piugrave; elusiva e; insieme; piugrave; istintuale: la musica.

Lots of clear thinking; very little religionBy Raoul PicanteI live in Eugene; Oregon where planning is done by bumper stickers and "buzz word of the month."Our "Pedestrian and Bicycle Master Plan" has a single goal: "By the year 2031 Eugene will double the percentage of trips made on foot and by bicycle from 2011 levels."This pathetic statement isnt well-formed; its a narrow "objective;" not a "goal"; and what follows in the PBMP is; not surprisingly; focused on infrastructure to serve mostly a tiny "vehicular bicyclist" subpopulation.Meanwhile; the City planners have let years go by doing little to help update local planning policies and code to prevent the degradation and destabilization of the older; close-in; grid-patterned neighborhoods. This neglect goes on despite an active; smart and progressive community of neighborhood advocates who love their compact (by small city standards); "traditional" urban neighborhoods.The local planners still see "being against sprawl" as their core principle and their key task as holding in place an arbitrary "Urban Growth Boundary" line on a map. (A line that when it was originally created was a pretty seat-of-the-pants effort; not really based on much true planning).Speck; like many smart planners whove been paying attention for the past couple decades; has moved beyond attacking "sprawl;" and focuses on "being _for_ walkability" and promoting methods that really work to accomplish meaningful goals. (Im a supporter of _evidence-based_ growth management; just not "plan-by-the-numbers".)His work is packed with useful observations and citations. He isnt "anti-car;" at all. He doesnt see all parking as "evil." And so on. And; he understands prioritization. Other 5-star reviews are accurate in their praise of the books substance; as well as his writing style.If I had one thing I think would have made a really good book even better; it would be that his first Chapter be an expanded version of the section titled "Its the Neighborhoods; Stupid;" in which Speck writes: "The transit discussion has of course included density since it began; but; until recently; it has been largely silent on neighborhood structure. This has been a huge mistake."The concept of "walkability" in this book is not only directly about walking; its also about the kinds of neighborhoods that are great to live in. And thus; I hope Specks observations and advice can help some of our local planners stop making that same mistake over and over again.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. If you care about your city (and its downtown); READ THIS!By Andre R. WozniakRequired reading for anyone interested in learning more about how streets and buildings function in a traditional neighborhood. Our motorist-first approach has been a grand experiment and it is time we take stock of the experiments outcomes. Jeff Speck masterfully takes readers through why this topic is critically important; how it can be approached from many angles; and spells out design concepts while weaving in relevant data points as he goes.2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Walk for LifeBy Babara SliwinskiThank you Book TV for having featured Jeff Speck; author of Walkable City. The book brought back memories of growing up in a walkable city in mid-state New York in the 50s; 60s when a lot of us used our foot mobiles to get to school; places of worship and recreational facilities. Of course not many of us owned cars at the time so we had no choice but to walk; ride our bikes or use public transformation. Then the exodus to the suburbs began necessitating owning a car to get to some mega mall via a really awful arterial roadways (effectively a speedway) which also blighted our neighborhoods. Getting cross town to shop at the new mall (good bye downtown stores) was fast but also dangerous. Of course socio-economic changes play a big part in any citys decline but the fact is some roadways contributed to the demise of a safe and livable neighborhood. Mr. Specks book delves into these transformations and the need for city and state planners to effectively create roadways that serve neighborhoods effectively so they could be safe and livable. A walkable city can also do so much for our health and our dependence on oil lessened - its a win win situation. We become communities and neighbors again when a city is deemed walkable and the roads safe. I think a lot of us are getting that message and Jeff Specks is loud and clear about the rising new urbanism.
