INTERVIEW

DILAN YURDAKUL

‘THERE ARE STILL SO MANY STORIES TO TELL’ 4

She sweeps into our sitting rooms every working day as the short-tempered policewoman Aysen, she stars on the stage in her own theatre shows and also teaches at the gym three times a week.

Jill-of-all-trades Dilan Yurdakul (24) is bursting with drive, dreams and ambition.

PHOTOGRAPHY: MASHA OSIPOVA

Since 2012 Dilan plays the tough Aysen in the long-running Dutch soap Goede Tijden Slechte Tijden (GTST). She finds it hard to relate to the character. “Aysen is so different from me that it’s a real challenge to play her. Luckily, she’s become nicer recently. The ice queen has melted slightly since finding the love of her life. And it’s fun to see that side of her. Although she mustn’t become a housewife of course.”

Unravel In any case, Dilan hasn’t got much time for housekeeping in real life. She not only appears in front of the camera, she’s also a theatre producer. When she was just 20, Dilan starred on stage in her own solo show. She wrote, produced and played Confessions of a young girl, based on Proust’s short story of the same name. “In my final year at primary school, during the end-of-school musical, I fell in love with the theatre, which is a bit of a cliché.

Although I was shy, I thought it was fantastic. At secondary school I continued acting at the youth theatre. That’s where I discovered that I not only liked acting but also writing and creating things myself. You are given the opportunity to unravel a part to its core and think about one sentence for hours, which is the opposite of the high pace at GTST. But it’s this combination that makes it so much fun.”

Kickboxing and working out When Dilan is not in the studio or in the theatre, you’re likely to find her in the gym. This is where she teaches three times a week. “Since I was sixteen I’ve been teaching Body Pump, Total Body Workout and Body Shape classes. In addition, I do kickboxing and lift weights three times a week.

After a long day shooting, I love to sweat it all out at the gym. Besides, without sports I would never have got to where I am now. It not only makes you tougher physically but also mentally.”

Amsterdamse Poort around the corner Acting, producing theatre, working out.... where does Dilan find the time? “It’s a question of planning. For example, I often go shopping at Amsterdamse Poort.

The shopping centre is just around the corner from the GTST studios. Whenever I have an hour off during a day’s shooting, I walk over. It’s a great shopping centre where you can find everything you need. It’s ideal!”

‘De Poort is just around the corner from the studios’ Stories on the street One thing is sure, we haven’t heard the last of Dilan. What are her dreams for the future?

“There are still so many stories I’d like to tell, preferably on the big screen. All the films in the cinema nowadays resemble each other. That should change. I want to bring greater diversity. For example, a film like Black, which is about street gangs in Brussels, is so raw and real. The most beautiful stories can be found right there, on the street.”

AT LUNCH TIME, AMSTERDAMSE POORT IS BUZZING AND BUSTLING WITH ACTIVITY. WE HIT THE STREETS TO SEE WHERE FOOD LOVERS GO FOR LUNCH.

Actu studying at the use we’re both De Poort, beca nearby – just munity College Regional Com er, actually!” around the corn

Valerie and Linda have lunch once a week at URBAN SALAD. “We work at Adidas around the corner and we like to have lunch together. They do great salads here that are healthy because they aren’t too rich,” says Valerie. Linda: “There are lots of places to eat around here, but for a healthy lunch we especially like to come to Urban Salad. We don’t like very rich food, so this is the perfect place for a fresh and healthy salad!”

At EASY FRESH FALAFEL married couple Garima and Abhinav are at a table with their friends Melissa and Swati. They all work at ING and live in Amsterdam. “You can find us at Easy Fresh Falafel every week, but we try to order something different each time. We like Indian food best, but De Poort doesn’t have any. But lentil soup, Döner sandwiches, wraps and salads are a great alternative! We always go out for lunch together, to be away from the office for a bit and to chat.” Besides Easy Fresh Falafel, the foursome also regularly visit ASIAN KITCHEN, URBAN SALAD, SUBWAY and BASILICO.

HIGH SPEED

SHOPPING

Send an email with your photo to info@amsterdamsepoort.nl and you could be the next to win a shopping spree on us!

FIFTY EUROS. FIFTEEN MINUTES. THREE FAVOURITE SHOPS TO VISIT. AT LEAST. THAT’S HIGH SPEED SHOPPING IN AMSTERDAMSE POORT. THIS TIME IT WAS FRIENDS ELISE, MILANA AND ORPHEO’S LUCKY DAY. THE CLOCK IS TICKING…

Milana (18) loves to shop and shops love Milana.

This young lady is from Zuidoost, so De Poort really is her home away from home. But this busy bee does more than just shop. She has two jobs no less and is in her final year studying Social Work at the Regional Training Centre in Zuidoost.

Way to go, Milana! She and her friend Elise (19), who is a student at the same school, have been chosen to go High Speed Shopping today. And shopping is what these girls do best! Meanwhile friend Orpheo (21) has joined the ladies for some moral support. They have fifty euros burning in their pocket and fifteen minutes to spend them in at least three different shops. Ready, set, go!

The race kicks off at LUCARDI. Milana is dazzled by all the bling. “Maybe you should have chosen someone else, I’m really not good at making snap decisions, help!” But she manages to collect herself and chooses a yin-yang pendant at a discount of € 12.50 from € 24.99.

Time flies when you’re having fun... and it certainly does when you’re High Speed Shopping! The clock is ticking and so the girls and Orpheo decide to go into H&M. This is where Elise comes into her own. She buys lingerie for no less than € 25.00. “My boyfriend’s really going to like this.”

We bet he will!

The threesome only has a few minutes left. What now? Several shops are mentioned but lingerie wins the day again. HUNKEMÖLLER it is! Milana buys two pairs of underpants for only € 5.00 while Orpheo buys his mother a pair of fluffy socks for € 7.99. He has to chip in € 0.50, but his mother is more than worth it!

There! High Speed Shopping is not for the faint-hearted. You need to make decisions, have the constitution of a horse, be able to do sums and possess powers of persuasion. The ladies succeeded. Oh, and thanks to Orpheo of course!

BIJLMER PARKTHEATER Theatre unlike anywhere else.

That sums up the theatre at Bijlmer Parktheater. And the line-up this spring is exceptional to say the least. On a lighter note ... comedy also comes to the Bijlmer in April.

SERGIO BUNSEE

On 22 April Sergio Bunsee debuts with Moeilijk?!

(Difficult?!), a gripping tale accompanied by music, sketches and snappy jokes.

FATU with Jeffrey Spalburg Sat 9 & Sun 10 April Kerst in Paramaribo

HET VOLKSOPERAHUIS In the year that Surinam celebrates its 40 anniversary of independence from the Netherlands, the Volksoperahuis, Manoushka Zeegelaar Breeveld and Borger Breeveld collaborate to produce the play Christmas in Paramaribo.

Almost half of all people of Surinamese descent live in the Netherlands. They went on to become famous football players, lawyers, politicians and theatre producers. But what does your average Dutch person actually know about Surinam?

What are their perceptions of the country and its people? Christmas in Paramaribo tells the story of a Dutch theatre group with cross-border ambitions who decide to produce a play with an actress originally from Surinam and her father, who still lives in Paramaribo. It is a play in which the two countries redefine their positions.

It’s FATU’s turn on Sunday 24 April when MC, host Jeffrey Spalburg and three fellow comedians take the floor to give their strong and hilarious views on current affairs in their own, unique way.

RAYEN PANDAY

And finally, Rayen Panday doesn’t mince his words in his show Niet verder vertellen (Sttt, don’t tell).

Rayen expects you to be able to keep a secret. That won’t be a problem…. will it?
