About

Set design today transcends the traditional boundaries between performing and visual arts, architecture, literature, fashion, film, music, design and photography. Through exploring the various sub-areas of art, technology and new media across the broad field of performing arts, students will learn to articulate themselves competently, artistically and in an interdisciplinary manner.
