The Estonian Academy of Music and Theatre is pleased to announce the international symposium Territories of Negotiation: Exploring Trends in Interdisciplinary Improvisation (IMPACT). The event will take place in Estonian Academy of Music and Theatre, 11–13 February 2027.

This symposium aims to offer comprehensive perspectives from a diverse range of disciplines that engage with improvisation as an art form, a method of creation, or an object of research. IMPACT 2027 explores the concept of negotiation as a central condition of improvisation and interdisciplinary practice. Encounters between different disciplines may generate collaboration, negotiation, tension, misunderstanding, transformation, and illumination.

Contributions are invited that explore how artistic work and knowledge are shaped through and by spontaneity. IMPACT 2027 is concerned not only with successful exchange but also with friction, discomfort, limits, asymmetries, and the structures that make shared practice and knowledge possible.

IMPACT is a symposium organized between three partner institutions: the Estonian Academy of Music and Theater, the School of Music and Performing Arts ESMAE and Lithuanian Academy of Music and Theatre.
