2. Level of Experience: All levels

3. Teacher Bio: Tash YorkWith her wine-loving antics and witty repartee, Tash York is a multi-award-winning singer, improviser, cabaret performer, producer, podcaster and Emcee! Known for her ballsy voice, dynamic energy and an uncanny ability to rap on command, Tash “is a phenomenal performer, charismatic and courageous” (Theatre People). Tash has performed to sold-out audiences at Perth Fringe World, Adelaide Fringe, Edinburgh Fringe, Melbourne Cabaret Festival, Ballarat Cabaret Festival, Brisbane Wonderland Festival, Melbourne International Comedy Festival and many more. 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. She also features as a guest entertainer with P&O Australia performing her own shows to audiences across the world. On the side, she co-hosts the very successful “Friends with Benefits Podcast” with Miss Burlesque Australia – Miss Bettie Bombshell, interviewing burlesque, cabaret and circus stars all over the world about their career highs, lows and how they got into the biz! 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. “Tash is extremely captivating and will immerse you in her world” – Beat Magazine “Mistress of Ceremonies, Tash York, had the requisite charm, strong voice and personality to get the audience excited” – Weekend Notes “The universe doesn’t know it yet, but York really is one of the best cabaret artists in the business. One worthy of the biggest stages in the world.” – What Did She Think “With a divine voice you could never tire of and a charismatic, commanding personality, York is a true talent audiences are lucky to experience.” – Theatre People. “York is one of Melbourne’s greatest cabaret artists.”

4. Workshop Bio: The Grand Dame of Cabaret and Drag, Tash York knows what it means to stand out, particularly when it comes to long lashes and glitter… I mean… she was once given a bad review because her eye make-up was too distracting (the nerve)!
If you’ve never quite mastered how to make your glitter lids stay in place or your long lashes stay out of your eyeballs then this workshop is for you! This workshop is all about the eyes and how to make your make up suit your eye shape and style! In 1.5hrs you’ll be treated to a practical class where you’ll try out these tips and tricks yourself using a combination of your own make up and a few goodies provided by us (including your very own biodegradable glitter)! This won’t specifically be a drag make up workshop but more a class in bringing a little more glitz and glam to your already fabulous skill set! All genders and makeup levels are welcome!
(note: if you want to block your brows we will not be covering that in this particular workshop but you can come with them blocked and we can go from there).
