This tour provides general information about the TQW and shows how to get to the different areas and venues of the building (Hall G, studios, library). The video is intended to help improve the accessibility of the TQW for everyone.

The tour is in Austrian Sign Language and lasts around 5 minutes. There are German subtitles and a voiceover in German.

The video was shot in the summer of 2023. Caroline Obermaier was supported by sign language interpreters Anna and Marietta Gravogl. Florian Hohl narrates the text, with camera and editing by Anselm Tröster and idea and concept by Theresa Rauter.

Tanzquartier Wien provides live interpreting in Austrian Sign Language for selected events.
All events with live interpreting in Austrian Sign Language are marked in our programme.
