To strike is to take a set, a prop or a piece of equipment away, and the strike is the dismantling of the whole set after the last performance or shoot.
On stage the strike is usually followed by the get-out, when the production leaves the venue. On a film or TV shoot it is the clearing of equipment, scenery and props from a location.
