Who in the dance world are you thankful for?
Megan Bridge · Director at Thefidget space
I’m thankful for Manfred Fischbeck, Brigitta Hermann and Helmutt Gottschild for kick-starting Philly’s contemporary/experimental dance scene in the late 1960s. If it weren’t for them many of us wouldn’t be doing what we’re doing right now. Yay Philly dance!
