Study Objectives:

During Bachelor studies students looks for a basic knowledge of the subject according to their abilities. 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.

Course contents:

Curriculum:

1. Assigning semester tasks for the artistic design of a production according to each student?s individual possibilities.

2. Study and development of creative, psychosomatic and awareness levels.

3. Emphasising alternative approaches and principles of alternative and puppet theatre.

4. The puppet, material and object in close and constant interaction between directorial, set design, dramaturgical, musical and other elements in theatre work.

5. Overlapping theatre genres, including contemporary types of experimental performance.

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.
