The performance area is framed with curtains to create an offstage space hidden from the audience’s view. Other “fabrics” are used for theatrical effects (scrin, cyclorama, projection screen). Theatre curtains absorb stray light from spotlights and contribute to the sound experience on stage and in the auditorium. Theatre fabrics also includes the usually matte black dance vinyl (or: ballet floor/ marley) and loose stage elements (or: stagedesks, risers).
