Theoretically and practically they are equipped with professional knowledge preparing them to realise projects in the Master programs. Emphasis is placed on the natural need for self-expression.
The atelier?s senior teacher plays a key part in directing the study aims, i.e. actively influences the themes which will be taken up in the main semester set design task for each semester. Assignments are tailored to the development level of the class or individual students.

Syllabus:
Set design is a part of theatre production which ranks alongside its other components. In the theatre that we study at KALD (i.e. in puppet theatre and its mutations) the fine-art element is inseparable because it forms part of the theatre?s meaning . However, the term ?inseparable? does not mean that it dominates above all other elements. The set design field of study includes all visual components, i.e. the creation of space, the puppet, mask, costume, props etc., and as such involves the preparation of material for (specialised) dramatic work. The purpose of teaching in set design is on one hand to accept the need for other components, and on the other to introduce new inspiring solutions and sources. In this way we reinforce the continuity with modern fine art and its new time-space forms.
