Ottawa, ON (September 11 2006)-Ladyfest Ottawa, Canada’s longest running, consecutive Ladyfest is excited to announce its 5th year anniversary festival line-up taking place in Ottawa’s downtown September 27-October 1st and 3rd.
The six-day music and arts festival featuring Julie Doiron, Lesbians on Esctasy, Kickers, Barmitzvah Brothers, Catriona Sturton and the Screaming Elks, Hexes and Ohs, Nicky Click and Captain Foxy performing live at Club SAW, Mavericks and End Hits. Local performers Bleeding Heart, Ennui, Les Alumettes, Sarah Hallman, Kelsey McNulty and Mackensie McBride will be featured. Out of town talent (ladies from Moncton, Montreal, San Francisco, Olympia, Toronto and Austin, Texas) will include Oen Sujet, Librarian’s Touch, Snowblink, Bad Flirt and Spacecan.
Ladyfest Ottawa’s renowned workshops will be held all day Saturday September 30th and Sunday October 1st of the festival. Workshops include Howdy Harmonica: The Basics of Harmonic Technique, Rock the Needle: Knitting for Boys, It Cuts Both Ways: Understanding Body Modification and many more.
Thursday September 29 of the festival features a film screening of I Was a Teenage Feminist directed by Therese Shechter. Armed with a video camera, an inquiring mind, and an irreverent sense of humor, filmmaker Therese Shechter crisscrosses both the continent and her own psyche in the hope of reconnecting to the power and sense of purpose that feminism gave her as a teenager in the 1970s. Local shorts by Ariel Lightningchild, Pixie Cram and others will also be screened.
And finally, our fabulous “one of a kind” Not Your Grandma’s Craft Sale, featuring local knitters, bakers, sewers and silk-screeners will take place over TWO days; Saturday September 30 and Sunday October 1.
Ladyfest Ottawa 2006 is happily sponsored by Venus Envy, Xpress, CHUO, punkottawa.com, CKCU, Capital Xtra, MotherTongue Books, Ottawa School of Art and Fabricawakuwaku.
Ladyfest Ottawa gratefully acknowledges the financial support of the City of Ottawa.
