In the upcoming season there will be four GESTURES/SITUATIONS at the Estonian Contemporary Music Centre. Each GESTURE/SITUATION unfolds over ten days and culminates in a public gesture.\n \nGESTURES/SITUATIONS : LISTENING WITHOUT A SCORE series stems from a desire to make sense of th e present moment and its needs\, while shifting the focus of current gestu re format into the context of the music community. Therefore Estonian Cont emporary Music Center invites two different professional creators involved in musical composition and/or interpretation into their venue and gives t hem free rein. As a new component of GESTURES/SITUATIONS format\, a third artist from another artistic practice or field is also invited\, bringing a different set of experiences\, physicality\, or sense of space to the pr ocess. They are all supported by dramaturge Alissa Šnaider. Participating composers and performing arts artists in the upcoming events are: Marianna Liik\, Liisa Hõbepappel\, Artjom Astrov\, Kenn-Eerik Kannike\, Liis Vares ja Maryn-Liis Rüütelmaa. \n \nGESTURES/SITUATIONS is not a collaborative format but a situation of risk.\nIt creates situations in which sound is n ot composed\, but occurs as a consequence of bodies attempting to coordina te without agreement.\n \nC H O R E O G R A P H Y O F T H R E S H O L D\nG ESTURES/SITUATIONS: LISTENING WITHOUT A SCORE\n \nWhat happens to sound wh en there is nothing left to protect it?\n \nGESTURES/SITUATIONS: LISTENING WITHOUT A SCORE proposes a problem rather than a format.\nIt stages situa tions in which sound is not composed\, but occurs as a consequence of bodi es attempting to coordinate without agreement.\n \nThere is no score\, no shared language\, and no obligation to produce a  work.\nThe project is st ructured around a minimal constellation of three participants and a set of gestures that function as operators of transition.\n \nThese gestures can not be repeated or optimized\; they mark thresholds rather than actions.\n Listening is treated as a condition\, not a skill.\nDelay\, misunderstandi ng\, fatigue\, and silence are not interruptions but structural elements t hat organize the field.\n \nThe situation is initiated and then allowed to unfold autonomously.\nWhat is choreographed is not sound or movement\, bu t the instability of coordination itself.\nThe outcome is not a performanc e but a residue — the trace of having remained present within an unresolve d problem.\n \nGESTURES/SITUATIONS: LISTENING WITHOUT A SCORE does not aim to redefine music.\nIt holds musical language in suspension in order to e xamine the conditions under which sound can still take place.\n \nGESTURES /SITUATIONS operates as a portable structure rather than a local expressio n.\nEach iteration reactivates the same problem in a different context.\nT he project does not translate cultures — it puts them under pressure.\n \n FROM 5 GESTURES TO GESTURES/SITUATIONS\nThe current format has developed f rom the original “5 GESTURES TOWARDS…” series at elektron.art art hall whe re between 2023 and 2025 the following artist duos met: Claudia Lepik\, Ma xim Mjödov\, Sveta Grigorjeva\, Mikhail Pashchuk\, Raul Keller\, Kärt Kopp el\, Laivi Suurväli\, Krõõt Juurak\, Marta Vaarik\, Gregor Kulla\, Jaan Ev art\, Hendrik Kaljujärv\, Riina Maidre\, Marto Mägi\, Kymbali Williams\, L iisamari Viik\, Viktoria Martjanova\, Maxim Nikanorov\, Kitty Florentine\, Grete Rattasepp and Arolin Raudva. In total 11 editions of “5 GESTURES TO WARDS…” took place and the last one was executed in collaboration with SAA L Biennaal festival organised by Kanuti Glildi SAAL. \nThe previous gestur es left unresolved questions that carry over into the upcoming GESTURES/SI TUATIONS. What kind of gesture is possible where forms are predetermined a nd resources are limited? What conditions are necessary for something new to emerge?\nBased on the actions that took place\, it became clear that th is has evolved into a permanent yet open format for gestures - a stable ye t open structure that can emerge anew whenever the space\, the need\, and the audience arise.\n \nAlissa Šnaider is an artist\, choreographer\, dram aturge\, and curator working across performance\, visual practices\, and d irecting.\nHer practice moves between choreography\, staging\, photography \, and writing. It approaches gesture not as expression\, but as an operat ion that reorganizes attention\, time\, and relations between bodies. Rath er than resolving forms\, her work constructs situations in which presence \, delay\, friction\, and exposure remain active.\nAlissa is the initiator of Gestures / Situations — an ongoing project that develops performative situations structured around risk\, non-coordination\, and listening. The project functions as a portable structure\, activated through minimal cons tellations of participants and context-specific gestures.\nHer visual work extends these situations by treating the image as a residue of action rat her than representation. Writing operates within her practice as a form of articulation and intervention\, accompanying processes without stabilizin g them.\nShe works internationally across artistic\, curatorial\, and dram aturgical contexts.\nhttps://www.snaider.ee/2 \n \nA public gesture is nei ther a finished performance nor a classical concert. It is the final momen t of a ten-day process—an opportunity to witness a situation that has aris en through the interaction of three participants and that cannot be repeat ed in exactly the same form.\n\nParticipating artists: Marianna Liik\, Lii sa Hõbepappel\, Artjom Astrov\, Kenn-Eerik Kannike\, Liis Vares\, Maryn-Li is Rüütelmaa\nDramaturge: Alissa Šnaider\nGraphic design: Jaan Evart\nCrea tive communication: Maria Solei Järvet\nCoproducer: Maria Hansar / Estonia n Centre of Contemporary Music\nProject manager: Annika Üprus\nSupporters: Estonian Cultural Endowment\, Tallinn\, Ulysses Platform - co-funded by t he European Union\nViews and opinions expressed are however those of the a uthor(s) only and do not necessarily reflect those of the European Union o r the European Education and Culture Executive Agency (ECEA).
