Types of Theatrical Drapes
1. Main Curtain (Grand Drape): The grand drape is perhaps the most iconic piece of theater drapery. It serves as the primary curtain, separating the stage from the audience. Typically, it is made of luxurious fabric such as velvet or velour and is often adorned with intricate designs or embellishments. The grand drape sets the tone for the performance and adds a touch of grandeur to the stage.
2. Legs and Borders: Legs and borders are vertical and horizontal drapes, respectively, positioned at the sides and top of the stage. They help frame the performance area, conceal backstage areas, and control lighting. Legs and borders come in various sizes to accommodate different stage dimensions and can be made of opaque or translucent material to suit lighting needs.
3. Backdrops (Scenic Drops): Backdrops are large, painted canvases or digitally printed panels that create the illusion of depth and space on stage. They depict landscapes, cityscapes, interiors, or abstract designs, depending on the requirements of the production. Backdrops add depth to the stage and transport the audience to different locations, enhancing the storytelling aspect of the performance.
4. Scrims: Scrims are versatile semi-transparent drapes that can be used to create stunning visual effects. When lit from the front, a scrim appears opaque, concealing what is behind it. However, when lit from behind, it becomes translucent, allowing scenes or characters to be revealed gradually. Scrims are commonly used for dream sequences, flashbacks, or dramatic reveals, adding an element of mystery and intrigue to the performance.
5. Cycloramas (Cycs): Cycloramas are large, curved drapes that span the width of the stage and sometimes wrap around the sides. They are typically made of seamless white or colored fabric and are used as projection surfaces for lighting effects, images, or videos. Cycloramas create immersive environments and can change the mood or atmosphere of a scene with dynamic lighting.
Customization and Accessories
Theatrical drapes can be customized to meet the specific needs and aesthetics of each production. From fabric selection to custom printing and embroidery, theaters have the flexibility to tailor drapery to their unique requirements. Additionally, accessories such as tiebacks, valances, and swags can be added to enhance the decorative appeal of the drapes and complement the overall design of the stage.
