Jason
'Blackbird' Selman has been performing on the Montréal
Arts scene as both Performance Poet and Musician for the
past ten years. More recently, Mr. Selman has used these
talents in the service of Montréal’s Black
Theatre Workshop Youth Works theatre program. When not
being brought to the verge of tears by the excellent work
of these young thespians, he fulfills himself artistically
as part of the musical collective Kalm
Unity.
In May of 2005, he undertook the role of producer for the
poetry, music and song series Intimate Sky, a showcase for
some of Montréal’s most talented performers.
In May of 2006 his play Death of the Bourgeois Dream
was performed by members of the Youth Works team and in
July of that year, he participated in Habana, Cuba’s
annual Hip Hop Symposium as part of Live Hip Hop group Nomadic
Massive. In January of 2007, he co-edited Talking Book
an anthology of poetry featuring members of the Kalm Unity
collective.
