Our curtains (grand and legs) are dead-hung and a crew is coming in to refinish the stage floor. Typically, our maintenance people use rope to gather curtains and then swag them away from the floor by tying the rope to cleats on the wall. Last year, this resulted in some tearing near the top webbing on the on-stage edge of the curtain (for my 30-year old legs). I talked to them about this but didn't have any suggestions of a better solution. Taking all the legs down will be far too much (scaffold) work.
I have seen narrow legs bundled into an overhand knot of themselves, so a knot of drapery temporarily hangs above the stage. I can only get this to work with 4' and 8' panels. Anything larger just won't wrangle into a knot. I've never taken a stagecraft class, so don't know the practicality of this.
What would be the best way to get these drapes out of the way for a couple weeks? Thanks.
