Outer Orbit






What the Audience Brings:
Answer the Question: Is Pluto a planet?

Project:
We will build a galactic war zone, complete with ships, robots, specimen collectors, planets, and space armor. This pod was extremely successful last year and we plan to continue it and make it better.

Audience Participation:
The audience will be invited to create their own armor and characters and fight for survival in the galactic war zone. This can be as low tech as making a tin foil sword or as intense as building their own space army.

Materials:
1. Paint (Spray or)
2. Chicken Wire and Pallet Wrap for Planets
3. Rope
4. Garbage
5. Tin Foil
6. Interesting waste
7. Wood and tools

Not a planet. I don't quite get it. Large undefined orbs unknown as to what they are made of ( a bit like pluto) the aluminum foil soldiers etc. how big are they on armatures. Are they similar to the boxy tinfoil robot of last year? More definition needed

The piece of this pod that really grabbed me last year was the "specimen collector." It made me think like an alien seeing this festival (or Earth) for the first time and left me thinking: What would I want take back with me?

The specimen collectors could spread anywhere around the campground: port-a-johns, trees, tents, vehicles, people....

Lots of possibility here, and it wouldn't be limited by the pod area or particular materials.

What about the center structure being a huge rocket ship that creatures are funneling out of. The rocket ship would have a telephone pole structure, which could also support hanging planets.
