Accessibility of locations and venues
You can find an overview of the accessibility of our locations and venues here. Directions for visual orientation on the location of the venues and performance spaces can be downloaded at the bottom of the page.
Shuttles
We offer barrier-free shuttles between the venues on request. As the programme takes place at many different locations and the routes vary individually, please contact us at access@tanzmesse.com to plan the transfers accordingly.
Access Room
At tanzhaus nrw, we have set up an Access Room where you can move around and rest, and which offers a private place to eat. The Access Room is exclusively available to dance professionals with disabilities and their personal assistants.
Translation
We offer translations into international sign language and live subtitling (captions on your own smartphone) for the opening and keynote speeches as part of the Talk & Connect discourse programme.
Support dogs
Approved support dogs are welcome in all Tanzmesse venues.
Alternative seating
We offer alternative seating in the form of beanbags for all performances (with the exception of the one held in the opera house). Please make a reservation by e-mail: access@tanzmesse.com
Early Boarding
For all events, we offer early boarding, which allows visitors to enter the spaces early. This gives them the time and peace to settle into their surroundings and choose a suitable seat before the rest of the audience arrives. Please arrive 20 minutes before the start of the event for early boarding.
Relaxed Performance
Relaxed Performance is aimed at a more relaxed and accessible performance experience. They are particularly suitable for people with autism, Tourette's syndrome, sensory or communication disorders, learning difficulties or chronic pain.
As part of our performance programme, we offer two performances - 40/40 by Two Destination Language and Hallucinations of an Artifact by Mandeep Raikhy as Relaxed Performances.
This means that
- the Relaxed Performance is announced before the performance begins
- Sounds and movements from the audience are very much welcome
- the audience is allowed to leave and return to the theatre at any time
Please note that these performances may still include light pulses and loud sounds.
Meet Up
