Tanzquartier Wien

Tanzquartier Wien (TQW) – Dance Quarter Vienna – is Austria's first center for contemporary dance and performance. Located in the MuseumsQuartier, this platform for the latest in body art has several event venues. Around 900,000 dance enthusiasts have visited the TQW since it opened in 2001.

The Tanzquartier Wien (TQW) - the center for contemporary dance and performance - puts on acts in its three studios from October to June and Hall G in the MuseumsQuartier from October to April. Dance productions and performances by national and international artists, companies and dance professionals can be experienced. A wide range of formats are shown. The TQW doesn't shy away from risk or experiment. The areas of training, rehearsal and research are also covered in depth.
