How to Fold Black Masking

Different masking (Legs, Borders, Tabs) are folded in slightly different ways but all share the same basic two "rules".

1. The audience facing side should always be kept face up onstage and be folded inward to keep it clean as possible

2. The ties should be left out so that the cloth may be tied to the bar without unrolling the material unnecessarily.

Before rigging or de-rigging any of the black masking the stage must be swept thoroughly to keep the material as clean as possible.
