IMPACT 2027 – Territories of Negotiation: Exploring Trends in Interdisciplinary Improvisation
Call for Proposals
The Estonian Academy of Music and Theatre is pleased to announce the international symposium Territories of Negotiation: Exploring Trends in Interdisciplinary Improvisation. 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.
Deadline: 15. November 2026
Datum und Ort: 11.–13. Februar 2027, Tallinn, Estland
Opera and Dance in Nineteenth-Century Italy
This two-day conference invites scholars to explore interactions between opera and dance in Italy and the Italian operatic industry from a broad range of disciplinary perspectives. The overall aim is to consider what the interaction between the two art forms — extending to their literal occupation of the same theatres — might reveal about broader shifts in Italian musical culture across the period 1790–1922.
Datum und Ort: 14.–15.01.2027, University of Rome La Sapienza
49th International Council for Traditions of Music and Dance (ICTMD) World Conference
The ICTMD World Conference provides a leading international venue for the presentation of new research on traditions of music and dance. Many new initiatives emerge at World Conferences and, perhaps even more crucially, discussion at these meetings helps us shape our ongoing work. A successful World Conference is a truly stimulating place to be, and a wonderful place to meet and share ideas, music, and dance, with colleagues from all over the world.
Datum und Ort: 14.–20.01.2027, Universidad Alberto Hurtado, Santiago, Chile
