Tanzhaus Zürich treats the existing physical, material and psychological resources with respect and acts as sustainably as possible.
We promote professional equality and the cultural participation of all genders and ways of life. BIPoC, LGBTQIA+, persons with migration experience and representatives of groups that are underrepresented in the cultural sector are explicitly welcome in our institution. In line with our efforts to become an inclusive institution, we adapt our work and production processes to the needs of people with disabilities.
The Verein Tanzhaus Zürich protects the mental and physical health of all persons who work on the premises, who are guests or members of the public, or who have any other connection with the institution. Any form of harassment, discrimination, abuse or inappropriate behaviour will not be tolerated, regardless of the source of the behaviour.
FAIRSPEC
Artists of the independent performing arts scene in German-speaking Switzerland and representatives of institutions and funding bodies addressed urgent social, artistic and contemporary issues at a series of events organised by the FAIRSPEC initiative and developed a common code of conduct. This code identifies the essential guiding principles that will guide our future work. They include personal competences, aspects of communication and cooperation as well as the commitment to comply with the guidelines of professional associations.
