About Whisky…

Scottish born Whisky Falls is a Naarm (Melbourne) based multi-disciplinary performance artist, known for her performance, teaching, hosting, dance and writing, specialising in erotic and alternative arts.

After graduating Bird College Conservatoire of the Arts with both a BA(Hons) in Dance & Theatre Performance, and a National Diploma in Musical Theatre, Whisky has worked as a company member for many companies, including Sabrina Productions ‘Danger Fields’ (funded by European Arts Council) and EIC Dance Theatre (most notable for collaborations with Meninadança, Brazil). 

These experiences resulted in an invitation to teaching for Bird College Conservatoire of the Arts, assisting vocational dance and acting students in both their practical and academic progress, assessments, auditions and performances. This included creating short course and assessment material in jazz dance, tap dance, rhythmic movement, assessing movement analysis papers, presentations and dissertations, as well as involvement in movement direction, production management, set build, costume design and wardrobe management. 

At the same time, living and working in London’s West End, Whisky found herself drawn into the ever curious and evolving world of cabaret.

Whisky performed burlesque for the first time by producing her very own burlesque cabaret in February 2012, at the Piccadilly Theatre's exclusive 'Cabaret Piccadilly'. Whisky has been a finalist in the Neo Burlesque Awards & Burlesque Idol (London, UK.) In both 2013 & 2014 Whisky also placed Runner Up in the World Burlesque Games (London, UK). 

By 2016, Whisky's success became a solo venture, and she was invited to perform at Burlesque Festivals around Europe. Whisky was Runner Up at both Stuttgart Burlesque Festival and Bohemian Burlesque Festival, given these accolades by judges including Lada Redstarr and Dirty Martini respectively. After achieving consistent accolades and residencies in the burlesque industry, Whisky teamed up with fellow performer Jeanie Wishes to create 'Whisky & Wishes'. 

Together, they were crowned Variety Winners at the 2017 World Burlesque Games.

Whisky has headlined shows at the London Burlesque Festival, Best of Burlesque (Edinburgh Fringe), as well as countless productions in the UK, Europe and Australia.

In 2018, the Scottish pin up brought her rich and dramatic tones to the Australian stages a mere 2 days after landing; Known as 'the wee dram of glam' Whisky has a repertoire that is as varied as her dance background. 

In 2023, after successfully establishing herself as a resident teacher for Maison Burlesque Melbourne, booking for corporate entertainment, producing multiple long running burlesque productions, production managing and judging competitions (Muse Burlesque, Apprentease VIC, Mx Burlesque VIC & ACT), Whisky Falls created ‘Your Weird Aunts Creative’ with burlesque powerhouse Bella de Jac. Together, they continue to work as mentors, performers, writers, choreographers, directors and producers, aiming to build greater understanding of diversity, community-building and the importance of striving for continuous improvement in the burlesque and alternative arts scene.

Like a good malt, Whisky will warm the cockles of your heart with her unique blend of fire and finesse. Her blend of dance techniques, dramatics and styling will keep audiences' palates wanting more than just a wee dram.
