LADYFEST NEWCASTLE 2006
Ladyfest Newcastle will be 2 whole days and nights of incredible music, art, photography, spoken word poetry, performance art and workshops - all taking place over a weekend in September 2006.
Most festivals are totally male-dominated; Ladyfest is a chance to redress the balance.
With Ladyfest Newcastle we want to bring together some of the AMAZING CREATIVE TALENT that we know is out there but not getting the attention it deserves. We want people to LEARN NEW SKILLS in workshops - drumming, knitting, how to change the world with a zine. We want to CHALLENGE PEOPLE’S PERCEPTION of what feminism is. And, quite frankly, We want to put on some BRILLIANT GIGS.
Most of all, we want people to come away from Ladyfest Newcastle TOTALLY FIRED UP about everything they’ve heard and seen, and start creating for themselves.

And finally - we want Ladyfest Newcastle to be a real community event, helping individuals and small groups with what they’re already doing. So if you write a zine or make stuff to sell, let us know and we’ll see if we can help you out.
