More About Jace Jacobs

A Brief Introduction

A queer, transgender theatre artist originally hailing from Rochester, New York, Jace is a current senior at SUNY Fredonia. Pursuing his Bachelor of Arts in Theatre Arts, Jace has a concentration in directing and a minor in arts administration. With a passion for telling unique stories, Jace has found his niche in directing premiere plays and working with up-and-coming playwrights directly. Along with his passion for directing, Jace has found a passion for the business behind creating theatre. Dedicated to all areas of his work, Jace has been described as "a spitfire", unafraid to dabble in unique approaches to creating theatre. Committed to keeping himself busy in his downtime, when he's not planning his next theatrical project, Jace enjoys crocheting, painting, and writing for SUNY Fredonia's student-run newspaper, The Leader, and singing as part of the acapella group Premium Blend.

Artistic Manifesto

Ten principles I follow in both art and life:

  1. Keep Your Art Accessible- Theatre is for everybody. 

  2. Listen to Underrepresented Voices- Find stories that will bring others' perspectives to light.

  3. Stay Down-to-Earth- Audiences should be able to find pieces of themselves in the stories you tell.

  4. Pursue Collaboration- Find friends to make meaningful art with. 

  5. Face your Fears- Work through your anxiety, and perhaps you will find something beautiful on the other side of it. 

  6.  Keep Learning- Ask questions, keep reading, and continue expanding your knowledge in all areas. 

  7.  Don’t Be Afraid to Ask for Help- There is no shame in needing assistance. 

  8.  Emotion is Power- Showing emotion does not constitute weakness. Let your emotions fuel your art, rather than hinder it. 

  9.  Try a New Perspective- Keep finding new ways to think about problems and view the world. 

  10.  Don’t Forget Why You’re Here- Remember why you chose the path you’re on. Remember who you were when you were small, and make your younger self proud.
