Mobile pogo zones, or madness for everyone.

Team

–

Pogo dance is a unique phenomenon that is often the most remembered part of the music festival. The experience of madness, unity, sinking into music and dance is something many people come to a festival for. 

My idea is to create mobile pogo zones that will intensify the experience, while increasing safety and reducing the risk of being pulled into a pogo vortex against one’s will. 

Soft pogo zones can be created for people who want to do pogo, but don’t want to or can’t participate in the violent pogo where they get trampled by the strongest people. Children, physically weaker people with certain disabilities will be able to play there safely in the middle of the powerful pogo created by raging hardcore fans.

You can also create “hard” type zones for participants who want to do a stronger pogo. In this case, flexible sheets can increase the safety of both them and the people around them who don’t want to be pulled into the pogo vortex. People who came to do the pogo will be able to have a great time without trashing the slightly quieter audience at the same time.
