Hello,
We recently put on a production of Footloose! The Musical last weekend and we had rented a cyc for the show as we don't own one but do have sufficient lighting to light one.
I really enjoyed how it looked and it really gave the stage more depth which was great because we have a pretty small area to begin with.
Anyway, I would like to look into making a cyc so we can always have one. Buying one is out of the question due to us being a high school with absolutely no budget other then what the two Drama clubs have (neither of which have an actual budget as well) so needless to say, funding for technical assets is not very high. Especially $2,000 for a white or blue sheet.
Someone mentioned to me that it could be done with canvas, and we would just need to figure out a way to rig it which would be easy enough. But it would also need to be fire proofed.
Has anyone tried this? What material should I look for? Also what would be the best way to get it fire proofed, having the fire department do it or use a product?
Thanks!
