Farewell and Happy Birthday to Foye Dubose, A Beloved Artistic Visionary

Today, on what would have been his birthday, we say farewell to Foye Dubose, former Artistic Director of Montgomery Ballet, who has recently passed away following health challenges. A Montgomery native, Foye dedicated his life to the art of dance, shaping countless young dancers' lives with his passion and talent.

Foye began his dance journey at Montgomery’s Carver Creative Performing Arts Center and continued with scholarships to the University of Alabama Birmingham, the Hungarian National Ballet School, and the Pacific Northwest Ballet School. His illustrious career included performances with the Dayton Ballet, Dayton Contemporary Dance Company, Ohio Ballet, Alabama Ballet, and Southern Danceworks. After retiring from the stage, he returned to Montgomery as Ballet Master at the Alabama Dance Theatre (2005-2014) and later became the Artistic Director of Montgomery Ballet.

His impact on the Montgomery dance community and beyond is immeasurable, and his legacy lives on through the students he mentored and the works he staged. Foye, your dedication, and spirit will forever be a part of our hearts.

Please join us in celebrating Foye Dubose's life by sharing your memories, thoughts, and condolences.

Blog Post 3: Social Media

For my social media selection, I chose to look at Kia Smith. She is the founder and artistic director of the contemporary dance company, South Chicago Dance Theatre. Smith’s great-grandmother moved to Chicago during the Great Migration, and Smith’s family lived there ever since (Paul). Given that her family was moving during the Great Migration, they likely were sharecroppers and possibly former slaves, as discussed in Takaki’s writing (317). She earned her Masters of Fine Arts in Dance from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee in 2018, and I have personally met and worked with her through the Department of Dance’s guest artist program.

Racism is very prevalent in the dance community, especially in contemporary. The roots of contemporary and modern dance tie in many elements of African dance, however they are often unrepresented and unacknowledged. Kia Smith is making massive changes in the American dance community by raising her voice along with other black voices to make dance a more equitable and inclusive space. As Smith herself said, “people haven’t had the education to actually understand how much the [African] diaspora has influenced dance and music in American and around the world but more people need to see other people’s perspectives... how we can be more empathetic, compassionate, and equitable if we allow ourselves to learn about others,” (South Chicago Dance Theatre).  

Deborah Willis and her sister (Willis 5).

Smith is also an important dance artist for young girls to look up to. I can speak to my own experience, being an overly tall plus-sized dancer, I had no one to look up to who looked like me growing up in the dance world, I cannot imagine how hard it would have been to be a young Black girl with no one to look up to. Smith is on the cover of magazines, newspapers, and web articles dressed to the nines, and although it may not be her specific intention, she is also proving the beauty of Black women through this process. Maybe if Deborah Willis’ sister had seen Black women on the cover of magazines, she would not have internalized racism to the point that she would prefer a white doll over a Black one (Willis 5).  

Two posts by Smith, one showing her on the cover of a magazine, one discussing her blossoming dance company featuring a photo of her in the center.

Finally, Smith is a leader of Chicago’s south side community, with her company “bring[ing] in artists from all over the world to our organization, but we’re rooted in the city’s south side, so I make sure that everything that we do is pouring into the community,” and she takes her company on a tour of local schools to perform during Black History Month (Paul).

Got some new shots done with the master himself JD Urban (@jdurban_photography) and stole this one - and maybe some others for #bkONE. We have a lot of projects in motion and I can’t wait to be able to announce all the things we are planning for 2023. It’s exciting and I feel very lucky to have the creative family around me that I have. Year 17 is gonna be a transformative one.

“Everything I do is for the 17-yr-old version of myself,” Virgil Abloh. Virgil Abloh who saw himself as a “maker” was driven by his dedication to his craft spanning across fashion, art, music/DJing and culture. A true inspiration to us, creative force and trailblazer! In Abloh’s world - nothing was exclusive and everything could be connected, whether that was melding the spheres of streetwear and high fashion. Virgil Abloh deeply believed in the power of art to inspire. RIP 🌹 Sept 30, 1980 - Nov 28, 2021 #virgilabloh #restinpeace #delinquentvalley
