The Masking
We used the New Athenaeum house Border and Tabs. The border on the winch bar and tabs on Flybar 1. Tabs would fly in and out between performances.
We had 3 borders on Bars 9,15 and 23.
We then masked the wings using dog legs. We dropped in spot lines from the grid using header blocks in the grid. We had 3 pick up points in the grid that would then cleat off on the each fly floor. Once each spot line was tied off to the dog leg bar would could raise to a suitable height in order to tie the 4x12m legs onto. Once tied on we had two crew on the fly floor raising up and one crew on Stage spotting. Legs are raised until you have enough cloth on stage to place a fly weight on. The legs were then neatly fixed to stage using a baton and fly weights to keep it stretched. We also found that by using a stretcher on back corner of each leg and tying it off to the counterweight cage and wall on p/s side wing, this also helped with straightening out the creases.
