100. Nicole Olson of Scorpius Dance Theatre: "I base most of my work off of the human experience. I love telling stories and expressing human emotion through dance."
As part of our countdown to Best of Phoenix 2016: Bordertown, New Times put the spotlight on 100 Creatives working in visual art, theater, design, and behind the scenes to enrich the Valley's creative community. Here they are: the actors, painters, authors, and boundary-defying innovators you need to know.
