My name is Jon Bonner. I am an Educator & Lighting/Scenic Designer living in Abu Dhabi, currently serving as an Arts Instructor at NYU Abu Dhabi. Prior to this assignment, I served as the Director of Technical Theatre and Design for the Noble & Greenough School, a private middle/high school in Dedham, MA. Check out the videos below of some of the work I've been involved with. Thanks for visiting.

Foster Gallery Lighting Installation Time-laps


Back in 2010, my longtime friend and I transformed the Foster Gallery (with the help for over a dozen students) into the venue for 3 of his lighting design installations. The gallery needed everything from the lighting grid to soft-goods and electrical distribution.

New York University - Abu Dhabi 
Sample Online Workshop

As part of the NYUAD Online+ initiative (in response to the Covid-19 pandemic), I created a workshop series to introduce the students to the 030 Scene Shop and walk them through a woodworking project.
