Providing a diversified platform for experimentation and unique artistic visions d:mic/fac Festival 2023 will present a series of live performances films and art that transcend the ordinary from August 16 to 20 2023 at the Betty Oliphant Theatre.

Offering a jam packed five day program expanding contemporary perspectives and compositions d:mic/fac Festival 2023 exists across three pillars: the curated Mainstage the lottery program What You See Is What You Get (WYSIWYG) and Arts Encounters

The masterfully curated Mainstage program is crafted with the help of two guest artists Santee Smith and Robert Binet alongside Yvonne Ng. Together they have selected and programmed a multitude of brave and curious Mainstage artists in three sections. The first section the Morrison Series pays homage to the late designer David Morrison and honours the mystical coming back down to earth and interconnectivity. The Binet Series with collaboration by Peggy Baker is a tribute to the organic human body the authentic self and finding rhythm in oneself. Finally the Smith Series is a collection of works by female choreographers and investigates the eternal transformation of the human spirit

The second program What You See Is What You Get (WYSIWYG) is a lottery and showcases an uncurated mixed program of dance pieces from five artists spanning a variety of backgrounds and practices bridging the gap between generations styles and experience levels to create an equal playing field on stage.
