Contemporary dance in Graz and Styria needs passion, commitment and a joint effort for a lively present and a fruitful future. And Tanz Graz needs active supporters.

As a member of the association, you are present online on the Tanz Graz website and can help shape the future of the representation of interests for the independent dance and performance scene in Graz.

Members can use the Tanz Graz hour contingent at Tanzhaus Graz free of charge on request for personal training and rehearsals, encourage Labs-on-Demand, apply for dramaturgy support and take part in lectures, workshops and professional training. We are happy to share performances and offers in our newsletter and on social media.

Above all, however, you are sending a strong signal, a “yes” to contemporary stage art within the Graz cultural scene.
