Remember when you were in Theatre School and learned all about Drape? P & D? Yeah - not so much. This presentation will give you the language, math (drape math is a thing!) and many tips and tricks to ensure your non-theatrical use of drape is of the highest possible calibre. Put your old ideas about drape aside and learn best practices and techniques for handling this important design element.

Attendees will be able to better understand:

- Proper handling of P & D Hardware
- Safely dealing with P & D Hardware
- Drape Math: The Key to a Beautiful Drape Line
- Different Drape Looks
- The language of Drape. (It is as unique as the language of any other production discipline. Handling and folding different type of fabric.)
