Biographie détaillée (en anglais):
Lillian Allen is a leading influential figure on the global cultural landscape - an award winning and internationally renowned poet and writer of short stories and plays. A key originator of dub poetry, a highly politicized form of poetry, which is sometimes set to music, she opened up the form to engrave feminist content and sensibilities. Her albums 'Revolutionary Tea Party' (acclaimed by Ms Magazine as a landmark album) and 'Conditions Critical' won Juno awards in 1986 and 1988 respectively. Featured in films Revolution from de Beat, 1995; Unnatural Causes, 1989; Rhythm and Hardtimes 1987, Lillian is co-producer/co-director of Blak.. Wi Blakk… (1994), a film on Jamaican dub Poet Mutabaruka.
Lillian Allen is the godmother of dub poetry in Canada and has strong ties to Jamaica's creative pioneer of the spoken and written word, the late Miss Lou (Louise Bennett), as well as with Oku, Benjamin Zephaniah, and other dub poets around the globe as she produced the successful Dub Poetry Festival and founded 'de Dub Poets' in Canada.
A leading creative writing educator at the prestigious Ontario College of Art, as well as a popular public speaker, playwright and performer, Lillian's work is taught in many international universities and colleges. Her performances and workshops are powerful, for audiences of all ages.
