J&C Joel's Fiona Blackett states, "We chose Brusan to complement the diverse range of theatrical fabrics that we already offer. It's unique and also highly practical for our industry, allowing set pieces to be made quickly and easily. It is also reusable which is perfect for touring companies or those with limited storage space for sets from past productions".
Brusan's flexibility enables endless possibilities in terms of the quick and easy creation textures, three-dimensional shapes and special effects, says the company. It will be "ideal for situations like conferences, corporate presentations, fashion shows and TV productions which require sets to be built with very short production lead times...It is also a perfect and cost-effective solution for traditional theatrical applications".
Brusan will support its own weight, and can easily be shaped and reshaped as each performance or project dictates. It is highly cuttable and gluable, water repellent, heat resistant and conforms to grade M1 fire retardancy.
Four types of Brusan will be stocked. Brusan Cotton is a two sided white cotton canvas; Brusan Cretone comes as either single sided natural/silver or double sided natural for painting; Brusan Cotton Fleece gives a snow effect and Brusan Veil comes in either gold or silver, offering a similar textural effect to Lame.
