ACTOR & DESIGNER
UPDATED
The Memory of Water
by Shelagh Stephenson
Hayley is currently rehearing for her final show of her Stella Adler training, playing the
leading role, Mary.
A play about three estranged sisters dealing with their mother's funeral, while making peace
with their troubled past.
Reflections:
"I'm so grateful and honored to play in this role with such a dedicated cast. We've worked tirelessly on this material which is extremely difficult in nature. I am thankful for the technique the Stella Adler Studio has given me over these past three years in training, that has helped protect my mental health while creating traumatic memories for my character. In using my imagination to create her past, I am using less content from my own life to relate to her. Her circumstances are so much bigger than me, and it has been a challenge rising to her heights and bringing her body down into me."
From Actor to Jury
Hayley is a jury member of the 2021 Paris International Movie Awards in Paris, France.
Reflections:
"It was my first time being part of a jury where my opinion and expertise on film craft was weighed into consideration for award. I had a blast watching film in various format from artists all over the world. It was an extremely unique experience collaborating with festival programmer, Matt Beurois to create a special and memorable award ceremony for the winner over Zoom, and I hope next year PAMA will have me in Paris post-pandemic!"
King Dedede Main Places Top Ten in Staten Island Smash Bros Tournament
Hayley placed 3rd in an offline Super Smash Bros Ultimate tournament hosted on Staten Island, New York.
Reflections:
"This was my third in-person Smash tournament in New York, and I am always the only woman competing. In a highly saturated, male-dominant industry, it is important to me to represent women in gaming. I play an extremely disadvantaged character, King Dedede, who ranks in a lower tier bracket than many characters being played at tournament level. I do this not only because I am loyal to my main, but I want to become a distinguished Smash competitor who is known to play a difficult character at a level that has never been seen before. I think about playing King Dedede as having my weights on. I look up to my fellow D3 player, Atomsk, and intend to play at his level and beyond."

The Expanse Season 6 Airs on Amazon Prime
Hayley plays beside Keon Alexander (Marcos Inaros) on three episodes being her first time bumped to principal recurring.
Reflections:
"When I was on set, I approached Marisol Adler, the director for my episodes, and asked her why she cast me. She told me, ' When I cast, I usually write down 3 or 4 names as options for the role. But after I watched your audition, yours was the only name I wrote down, because you are a Belter.' It blew me away. I had so much fun diving into this world on set, and the cast and crew worked effortlessly to make the world of this show come to truth. I learned the Belter creole, which was challenging, and I loved every second of mastering the dialect It was my first role where I felt like I was exploring something truly original. The dialect coach was Eric Armstrong, the voice coach at York University, where I got my bachelor in design for theatre. He never taught me, but he was a big part of my roots at York. It was an incredible feeling to work beside my former professors."
