Template:Person Erlend Eidsem Hansen (September 18, 1972 in Oslo) is a Norwegian larpwright, teacher at the larpwriter summerschool and documentary filmmaker.
He lives in Oslo, Norway. He is the father of 2 sons, and one of 3 founders of Knutepunkt, the meetingplace of Nordic Larp.

Background

Erlend has grown up in the 70ies and 80ies Eastenders Oslo surrounded by a workingclass, whitetrash environment. Equal to many other Norwegians Erlend has gone through the classjourney from workingclass to cultural academic upper middleclass during the economic oilboom of Norway during the 80ies and 90ies. This means that he worked in a chocolatefactory when he was 18 years, but now he is thoroughly educated and works as filmdirector. As a consequence, Erlend has 10–15 years of education more than any elder members of his own family. When it comes to explaining larp to people not familiar with the concept, this teaches a few lessons. It also gives a few prejudices to other academically oriented people.
