Joanne Kilgour Dowdy’s In the Public Eye (Commess University Press, 2009) capsulates her professional life in a series of photos from productions, TV series, rehearsals, and posed shots. Her book conjures up the spirits of many artists and mentors—some of them “no longer on this earth”—who inspired Kilgour Dowdy as an actor, dancer, woman, and educator.
The photo captions are both ones created by Kilgour Dowdy for this book and past performance reviews and newspaper articles that include the New York Times, Trinidad Guardian, Weekend Magazine (Trinidad), and college newspapers. With these two different types of narrative, In the Public Eye provides the reader with valuable insights into Kilgour Dowdy’s journey as an artist in relation to other artists, her community, and her art.
