About Ferri

Ferri Maya is not only an internationally crowned Burlesque Performer, she is also a teacher and mentor.
Ferri Maya is a registered dance and theatre teacher who has mentored students to start their careers in dance and theatre after they graduate. Ferri Maya has a Certificate Three in commercial dance and theatre, a Bachelor of Arts in Performance, and a Diploma of Education, and has started her thesis on inclusion in dance and safe dance practice.
Ferri Maya is a Burlesque teacher at bottoms up where she teachers her own brand of burlesque, Burlyrock. This is taught from a beginner level to an advanced.

While Ferri Maya lived in Sydney, Burlyrock was taught under sky sirens and she expanded her teaching into floor work, chair, and stretch.

Burlyrock has been taught by Ferri Maya Australia-wide, where she has sold out every workshop that’s been listed. Ferri Maya is a proud mentor to students around Australia and America where she helps build confidence and knowledge in her students so they can work toward debuting their first solo. Ferri Maya also mentors seasoned artists and builds their confidence in gaze and stillness as well as teaching them dance safety when it comes to floor work and technique.

Ferri Maya believes every artist should have a mentor, just like every sports team needs a coach. Ferri has been consistently mentored by Ginger Valentine, which has helped shape Ferri into the performer and teacher she is today.

About Workshop

It may seem like the most daunting job in the world but as Tash has discovered it is the most valuable. Ever wanted to try out some of your excellent (dad) jokes and lead an audience through a night of fun and frivolity… well Wilkoment, Bienvenue.. Welcome!

In this workshop discover what it means to develop your own Emcee persona either based on a character or ramp up your own onstage confidence to get yourself onto the mic. Schticks, tricks and the ability to transfix will be covered as you delve into the world of what it means to make the “Show go on ”.

Everything including Mic technique, preshow prep, audience connection, persona profiling and show safety will be covered in this session. With her matchless brand of comedy-cabaret and incredible vocals, Tash York is full of exuberance, outrageous behaviour – She’s drag, she’s cabaret and she’s probably had a few wines. Think Meow Meow meets Bianca Del Rio… on budget! You’ll find her at almost every major festival performing her solo comedy cabaret shows or onstage as the resident host of The Australian Burlesque Festival, Briefs:Sweatshop and The After Hours Cabaret Club.
