I listen to feedback and apply it through a cohesive artistic lens for the individual project. I celebrate the successes and failures alike and use both to constantly refine and deepen my process. I work to bridge the divide between plays and musicals, to prove both art forms are utterly necessary to humanity, and the techniques to achieve beauty and excellence in one are just as applicable to the other. I am dedicated to bettering myself in my craft by staying abreast of the latest research and experiential work in the theatre through watching and creating performances, and then bringing those discoveries back to share with my students.”  [post_title] => Jesse Galas [post_excerpt] => [post_status] => publish [comment_status] => closed [ping_status] => closed [post_password] => [post_name] => jesse-galas [to_ping] => [pinged] => [post_modified] => 2023-10-05 15:57:11 [post_modified_gmt] => 2023-10-05 19:57:11 [post_content_filtered] => [post_parent] => 0 [guid] => https://www.highpoint.edu/?post_type=faculty-staff&p=203078 [menu_order] => 0 [post_type] => faculty-staff [post_mime_type] => [comment_count] => 0 [filter] => raw ) [5] => WP_Post Object ( [ID] => 221155 [post_author] => 9359 [post_date] => 2023-06-19 16:15:01 [post_date_gmt] => 2023-06-19 20:15:01 [post_content] => Zane holds an M.F.A. in Costume Design from Boston University and has several years experience teaching at Boston University and University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh.  She has an interdisciplinary, iterative, and hands-on approach to costuming supported by her B.S. in Engineering from Harvey Mudd College and her eight years' experience in the oil & gas industry.  Zane has spent recent summers working at Bard SummerScape Festival at Fisher Center in Annandale-on-Hudson, NY and Jacob’s Pillow Dance Festival in Beckett, MA.  Her recent design credits include dance pieces for Brandeis University, Kanopy Dance Company and Boston Dance Theater; the UW Oshkosh productions of Grease, Silent Sky, The One-Act Play That Goes Wrong, Peter and the Star-Catcher and She Kills Monsters; and Wheelock Family Theater’s production of Little Women: The Broadway Musical.
