Experience inclusive performing arts at Frankfurt LAB

Frankfurt LAB at Schmidtstraße 12 is a music, theatre, and dance lab for contemporary work. Its Barrierefreiheit page documents rollstuhlgängige halls, companion service on request, welcome for assistance dogs, and a growing share of performances with audio description or German Sign Language.

What you can do

• Check accessibility notes before you book or drop into a free session
• Ask the box office (069-739 416 93) for a suitable seat or companion support
• Attend festival workshops such as Towards Reshaping Dance Education that share inclusive training methods
• Suggest improvements: the venue invites feedback from people who encounter barriers

How it works

Public halls and the foyer are step-free. Some artist dressing rooms remain partially accessible; staff help find workarounds. Room measurements are published on frankfurt-inklusiv.de.

Why it matters

Culture belongs in the room only when everyone who lives nearby can actually get in.
