1) Find the Right Space
- Look for edges, pockets, and open areas — not the densest part of the crowd.
- Give yourself a buffer (especially for bigger props).
- If the crowd fills in, adjust — you can always relocate.
2) Choose the Right Prop for the Environment
- Tight spaces: smaller props are easier to manage.
- Open areas: you can scale up.
- Night sets: visibility matters — make sure people can see your edges.

3) Flow Etiquette (Quick Rules)
- Stay aware of your surroundings (especially behind you).
- Pause if someone walks into your space — safety over “finishing the move.”
- If you accidentally bump someone, check in and reset.
- Don’t “claim” a space — share and rotate.
4) Keep Your Gear Secure
If you’re moving between sets, carry your prop in a way that keeps your hands free and your gear protected.
