Saila

Education from Nordic Theatre School in Århus (DK) and from University in Helsinki where she studied directing for children.

Hyttinen organize workshops in theatre and dance and is a full time member of Verk Produksjoner. 

 

Saila Hyttinen founded Verk Produksjoner in 1998 together with Fredik Hannestad and Oscar Skulstad. 

 

Fredrik Hannestad

Director and artistic leader of Verk Produksjoner. Educated in Italy Pontremoli “Institutet för Scenkonst” (SV) led by Ingmar Lindh and received a 3-year actor studies from Aarhus, Denmark “ Nordic theatre school” led by Tage Larsen and Anna Lica from Odin Theatre.

I met Anders in 1989 in a school in Italy and Saila in a school in Denmark. We have been somehow in the same schools. I have been working as a freelance actor since 1992 before we started a group - first in Denmark in 1993. After some years, in 1998, I moved to Norway with Saila and decided to start Verk Produksjoner. Since then, much of my time goes to the work to keep this Verk production somehow alive. It is not only actor’s work, it has been many years with a lot of administration, applying for money, planning or producing. From the beginning we made our performances together, we were all acting, there was no director. It was pretty interesting in that way, but in the last performances I've taken the role as a director, because we took many new people in and we wanted to give them more secure surroundings.

Anders Mossling

Actor and artistic leader of Verk Produksjoner together with Hannestad and Hyttinen. Educated in Italy Pontremoli “Institutet för Scenkonst” (SV) led by Ingmar Lindh and “Scenestudio” in Stockholm Sweden. Besides Verk, Anders work with different theatres and constellations in Denmark and Sweden. In 2017 Anders received the Swedish "guldbagge" award for best film actor in leading role for the film The Yard. 

”The only important thing in the long run is that we have been working together for so long time and we continue to work. When we start a new show it is a continuation of the last one in a way. I do not feel that we are ready now and then we start with something new, when it comes to acting we try do develop it further.”

Tilo

Tilo Hahn

Verk's light designer since 2006. Tilo is working mainly as a freelancer for dance and theatre productions. His latest project besides Verk Produksjoner has been for Henriette Pedersen, Eirik Fauske, Ingri Fiksdal and Carte Blanche. Typical for his work is to be part of an production in its early stage to make it his own. In this way he can give his own 'voice' to the piece that doesn't necessarily follow the plots on stage but contribute more in a whole of the production. He often experiment with alternative ways of direction the light and use video as part of his light design.
