Jolanda played in several major Dutch theatre productions and appeared in various Dutch television series and movies, including Dertigers, CAST, Pink Moon, Black Out and De Boskampi’s.
In addition to acting, Jolanda has been developing new plays for some years now. In collaboration with Sytske van der Ster, she developed and starred in Who’s Afraid of Woody Allen and NICO, a music theatre play about the lead singer of the Velvet Underground.
Jolanda came up with the idea and concept of De Dans Ontsprongen, a play produced by Theater Na de Dam in 2019. The production, inspired by the international bestseller The Choice by Edith Eva Eger, starred actor Pierre Bokma and prima ballerina Igone de Jongh and was performed at the Royal Theatre Carré.
On May 4 and 5 the new play Duif in Artis was shown in ARTIS (Amsterdam Zoo). In addition to the idea and concept, Jolanda also wrote one of the monologues, alongside writers Tom Lanoye and Alfred Schaffer.
As a Creative Developer she worked for Millstreet Films. A Dutch film and drama producer that develops and produces high-end films and drama series from a present-day female perspective for a wide audience, with a strong female lead or created by women.
Jolanda is currently working on her first screenplay.
“Jolanda is always a joy to work with! She adds something extra to the character. A lot of humor and a lovely timing. Bursting with energy! Love her.”
