About me
"Hayes's superb comic timing and gentle naturalism speak to the well-balanced contrast that this show masters"Edfringe Reviews of Seeds of Memories.
I am a creative and versatile character actor, equally at home playing comic roles, and those requiring great emotional depth and understanding. My experience also includes a lot of multi-roling, I have great physicality and a very expressive face. I love text based work, ranging from classical works and Shakespeare to new, experimental pieces, and have used my skills in many research and development projects. In addition, I'm a skilled and experienced puppeteer, especially bunraku, but interested in all forms, and made non-verbal glove puppet shows for YouTube during Lockdown.
Additional information:
I'm a spoken word artist/ performance poet who has been a LyraFest Grand Slam Finalist two years in a row and am part of the Apples and Snakes Future Voices Program.
I've written and directed my own scripts, and worked as a dramaturg and director for other people including at the Lyric Hammersmith Evolution Festival.
Additional skills:
I have a lot of experience working with children, especially those with special needs, ranging from mild to profound learning difficulties, autism and emotional and behavioural issues, and am a highly skilled Makaton user (signed language). I have performed alongside both adults and children with learning difficulties, doing improvisation and physical theatre in various productions, and find puppets particularly useful in this kind of work.
Self-Recording
I have a small Rode Microphone with pop filter.License & Passport
