Jean "Binta" Breeze MBE (11 March 1956 – 4 August 2021) was a Jamaican dub poet and storyteller. She worked also as a theatre director, choreographer, actor and teacher. She performed her work around the world, in the Caribbean, North America, Europe, South-East Asia and Africa, and has been called "one of the most important, influential performance poets of recent years".
Breeze was born and raised in rural Jamaica, growing up in Patty Hill, a small village in the hills of Hanover Parish. She moved to Kingston in 1978 to study at the Jamaican School of Drama, where she met Michael Smith, Oku Onuora, and Mutabaruka. She first visited London early in 1985, at the invitation of Linton Kwesi Johnson, to make her debut UK performance at the International Book Fair of Radical Black and Third World Books on 19 March that year. Returning to London in September 1985, she earned a certificate of education at Garnett College (1987), and taught Theatre Studies at Brixton College, but after two years' teaching she left in order to be able to perform full-time.
