Head of Set Design at the University of California Irvine, Dipu Gupta, explores the fundamentals of set design, asking everything from "what is set design" to "are set designers artists". Gupta discusses methodologies for researching designs and creating set models. Moving beyond the individual work of a set designer, Gupta explores the network of relationships in theatre: between the performers and the space that set designers create, between the director and the designer, between the designer and the text, and between the legacy of past productions and new mountings of shows.
