About this Event
Professional Circus, Burlesque, and Theater Artists share the tools, tips, and tricks they've learned for storing everything from oversize props to delicate feather headdresses.
You'll learn to "design for storage," find options beyond plastic boxes and dry cleaning bags, and dive into the details of storing feathers, fur, foam, and fininicky fabrics.
The workshop will end with a 20-minute Q&A to help brainstorm your own storage challenges.
