The TQW has different venues within the MuseumsQuartier: Hall E + G and the studio complex with three studios. It works closely with related institutions at home and abroad, such as the Künstlerhaus Mousonturm in Frankfurt am Main, the Productiehuis Rotterdam ( Rotterdamse Schouwburg ), the Choreographic Center NRW in Essen and the Art Center Vooruit in Ghent.

The sponsor is the Tanzquartier Wien GmbH , whose managing director Ulrike Heider-Lintschinger has been since 2001. Until 2009, founding director Sigrid Gareis was the artistic director of the TQW . Her successor was Walter Heun from Munich since July 1, 2009 . From 2018 Bettina Kogler took over the management.
