Dilay  Taskaya

I am Dilay Taskaya, an actress and multidisciplinary artist born in Izmir, Turkey. After graduating from the prestigious Dokuz Eylul University Faculty of Fine Arts with a  Bachelor's degree in Acting, I was honored to be selected as an actress for the Istanbul Municipal Theaters, one of the most important theater companies in Turkey. I performed there for 5 years.

​

Continually honing my art , I worked with renowned Turkish stage and film directors  like Ferzan Ozpetek, Seren Yuce, Alexandar Popovski, Haldun Dormen and collaborated with acclaimed with acting  coaches and attended workshops, both in Turkey and abroad.

​

Driven by the human desire for connection, I sees acting as a powerful tool for storytelling. Through theater and cinema, I believes we can bridge differences and share meaningful experiences.

​

The world is not fair, and I cannot make it fair on my own, but as an artist, I believe that art can help us understand ourselves and each other better and I choose to strive for a more just, aesthetic, and collective world. By telling stories that resonate with people's experiences, we can bridge gaps and create a sense of connection.My greatest passion is to tell stories. And now, in Toronto, Canada, I continue to create, learn, and grow with artists from all over the world. I am excited to be immersed in different cultural perspectives and artistic approaches, and I am confident that this journey will further enrich my own work and understanding of the world.
