April 16th-19th 2009, at Haraldvangen, Norway
Workshop: Larp Composer
Description
This is a 4 part Game which could be seen as 1 whole story played by 4 different player groups or as a workshop in gameflow in different LarpForms. The Workshop will reach for a common ground on gameflow from Erlend's mix of experience from Fantasy larps, Historic larps, Political larps, ArtHouselarps, Pervasive larps and Freeform. Examples of composition will also include experience from other mediums such as music (Erlend plays saxophone and piano), film (he has directed 3 documentary films), and dance/performance.
Who
Erlend Eidsem Hansen has organised more than 20 larps the last 20 years, and taken part in over 200 games. He is also one of the founders of Knutepunkt. Erlend has recently finished an art project with Norwegian/Isreali choreographer Mia Habib. Currently he is working as a director/producer in the national childrens channel in Norway. Erlend Eidsem has recently finished the editing process of his documentary Exil, never mind reality. He believes that character driven docmentary films have more in common with larps than the most often inspired material from feature films of fiction. Erlend is anarchist of nature, but will here focus on pacing, structure and scripts, leaving the larphacker discussions for other fora.
