Bryn Mawr Director of Dance Linda Caruso Haviland was center stage at the Performance Garage’s 2017 gala. The founder of the College’s dance program was honored for her contributions to the Philadelphia dance community by the city’s premier space for modern dance.
As a dancer, Caruso Haviland performed primarily with Hellmut Gottschild’s Zero Moving Company. As a scholar, she has focused on the work of Philadelphia dance artists and the rise of a professional class of dancers in turn-of-the-century Philadelphia.
