Our Red pathway is our basic option. This gives one workshop a week in your nearest venue or online (international students).
Our Red pathway is an excellent option for those just starting out. It gives a consistent level of training and allows you to experience our specialist terms.
Attendance is extremely important in order to help create a cohesive company of actors, that’s when the real fun happens!
Red is available in ALL venues and also counts as the pathway for weekly sessions online for those joining us internationally.
“I do RED at the moment because I also attend singing classes and dance classes. I do want to do BLUE next term but for now this is what I can manage”
“HAYA workshops are the best I’ve experienced. I went to Stagecoach and another drama club but this is really professional but also really fun . I didn’t know acting was like this.”
Blue pathway
Available in all Academies for Jnrs, Snrs, HAYA+ and online
1 term = £251 (inc. VAT)
Payable in full, 1/2 termly instalments or via yearly subscription with monthly payments. Income support bursary and sibling discount available
Our Blue pathway is for those young actors who are interested in learning more about the industry and how it works.
These sessions take place on Zoom every other week with our Academy Director Sarah Hunt or our head of Career development - Laura Dickens.
These are really fun sessions that help our actors improve their knowledge in a relaxed way. It is not like school - promise!
Script project - Each term we read through a play or film script together.
Film club - each actor suggests a film that they would recommend (as well as some director chosen wild cards) and we have to watch it within that 2 week period. We’ve seen some brilliant films we wouldn’t normally choose.
Our Blue pathway includes 1 live workshop a week in your nearest venue and a zoom session every other week.
Important topics (AI, Social Media, Diversity and Representation) are discussed.
Celebrity industry Q&A’s - we often have people drop in to share their expertise, playwrights, actors, directors and even an on set animal wrangler!
We can even help with your creative homework!
This is the most beneficial of all pathways.
This pathway really improves our young actors knowledge and has an incredible impact on their abilities.
“I didn’t realise how little I knew until I did Blue. I didn’t watch films and never read a play. Having more knowledge makes me feel much more confident as an actor”
“My GCSE Drama grades have improved hugely. I love doing Blue. It’s fun but I also feel really smart”
Purple pathway
A HAYA Contract is always for a minimum of 1 full term and the 1/2 term notice period is applied.
This pathway is for those that want to train like a pro with 2 live workshops a week.
It’s recommended for our agency actors to develop their skills for this competitive industry. Just like sport and music, the more you train the better you get!
“I began the purple pathway in January of this year as I have always loved HAYA classes, so when I saw there was going to be an extra class, I signed up straight away, as I thought it would be very beneficial... and I was right!!! Ever since I started the purple pathway at HAYA, I have improved immensely, and there is no doubt that my acting abilities have grown, as has the belief in myself as an actress. It is a joy to have the opportunity to do two classes a week, and I could not recommend it more!”

1 term = £353 (inc. VAT)
