Clint Bryson This is my first time designing for the ZUZI! Dance Company and I am very excited about this opportunity. My previous work has included designs for New ARTiculations Dance Company, The Rogue Theatre Company, Borderlands Theatre Company, The Beowolf Alley Theatre Company, Live Theatre Workshop, and Tucson Art Theatre. In addition to freelance lighting and scenic design I am the Shop Foreman, Production Technical Director and Marketing Director for Catalina Foothills High School Theatre Department where I design and coordinate the construction of all scenery. I am a member of Rhino Staging Services, and a regular participant in Arizona Theatre Company's Summer on Stage program where I design and build the scenery as well as teach production classes. I thoroughly enjoy the passion and integrity that the company at ZUZI! have brought to this production and thank them for entrusting their art with mine.
