    • Access

    The Tanzplattform Deutschland 2024 endeavours to provide access for all with as few barriers as possible. We want everyone to have the opportunity to take part in the festival, regardless of their individual abilities or needs.
    We are aware that we are not yet able to cater for all needs. We want to learn and improve. Please let us know your wishes in this process.

    Here you will find all information on the access offers during Tanzplattform Deutschland 2024.

    An access sheet is also available for download, summarising all access offers as well as detailed information on the venues and their accessibility.

    Audio description (AD)

    At our performances with audio description, the description of the visual events on stage is spoken live so that the audience can experience them through headphones. For the following performances, Tanzplattform Deutschland 2024 offers a live audio description including a haptic touch tour.
    The touch tour starts one hour before the performance begins.

    Terminal Beach (22.02.24, 19:30, Theater Freiburg, Großes Haus)
