Ursa enters theatre and live events market with body-worn Performance Pouches

Since 2015, Ursa has been producing solutions for transmitter and receiver placement for film and TV productions. It is now launching the Performance Pouch range, a new set of pouches designed specifically for the live and theatrical industries. Designed by the company’s founders - Production Sound Mixer Simon Bysshe and Costume Designer Laura K Smith - Ursa products address sound freelancers around the globe and have been used by engineers for shows like “Adolescence” and “Succession”.

Use of high numbers of radio mics, trackers and IEMs in theatre has become standard, even in smaller venues that traditionally have not required the technology. This practice creates time and personnel pressures for costume departments, who are often relied upon by sound department to make solutions for the technology, the cost of which is not always reflected in the overall budget.

The Ursa Performance Pouch range offers sustainable ready-made additions to in-house belts, that utilise innovative features to increase flexibility of placement, and deliver adaptable solutions that can last for multiple production runs, reducing waste and reliance on custom-made solutions. Designed with Ursa’s exclusive fabrics, the pouches and belts are available in a range of sizes and colours.

“DIY solutions for pouches and straps was once the norm for film and TV too, often leading to pressure being put on costume departments to deliver multiple solutions”, explains Bysshe. “Ursa was born out of our desire to do things better and now we’re ready to offer bespoke, affordable solutions for the theatre and live industries. By including professionals from the National Theatre and West End Productions in our development process, we know we’re making products that will really make a difference.”
