N Is for Nichole Canuso

Since arriving on the scene in 1996, the eminently likable Nichole Canuso has seemingly been everywhere as a freelance performer and choreographer with numerous theater and dance companies, and as a regular company member of Headlong Dance Theater. She created the character of the delightful clown Snow in Pig Iron Theatre Company's masterful comedy Flop, and on occasion she continues to tour in the role. Last year she went from being one of Philadelphia's most sought-after free agents to helming her own Nichole Canuso Dance Company, which mounted the acclaimed dance-clown work We Spar Down the Lane.
