Raised on a cotton farm in northern NSW with visions of being a lion tamer in the circus, it was obvious Hayley had an imagination the size of the cosmos. Through her studies in Theatre Arts, Costume and Clowning she has become a dynamic performer, teacher, choreographer and costumier.

Also the most incredible hula-hooper you will ever see, Hayley has been described as Betty boop meets Fraggle Rock. This real life cartoon character draws upon her bonanza of styles and experience in Bellydance, Flamenco, Hip-hop, Clowning, Jazz, Funk and Swing.

In true 1930's cabaret style, Hayley hoopla toured throughout Australia and Europe as a sideshow clown and hooping burlesque beauty in 2009-2011. She graced the stages of Woodford, Folk Rhythm and Life, The Speigletent, National Gallery Victoria and hoop-notised audiences at Melbourne, Adelaide and Edinborough Fringe Festivals.

This hoop rebel exudes elegance and quirk within her kaleidoscope of characters. When Hayley is not performing with music producers such as 'Spoonbill' and the Carnivalesque gypsies 'Rapskallion', she can be found hunting for a three headed flamingo in her latest show "FiFi explorer and the quest of the mythical beast", taming her troupe of zombie ballerinas, or sporting an oversized boom-box as the highly talented and hilarious 'HoopDog'.

In 2004 Hayley was awarded the 'Costumier' Award and Scholarship to India after completing her Diploma In Entertainment Costume. Hayley completed her study in Theatre Arts in 2007 and Total Theatre in 2010 at the Ani Stainer Physical theatre school in WA. Hayley also has enjoyed clown schools such as Alan Clay in New Zealand and Claire Bartholemu's course in Melbourne.

Hayley is currently teaching Hoop classes at The House Of Burlesque in Fitzroy. She also teaches Drama, Circus Skills and Dance to Children all over Melbourne. She has visited remote Aboriginal communities sharing her spirit in Circus skills, and will continue to spread joy and ooze her cuteness far and wide….and perhaps tame some lions along the voyage.
