Hey zombies! So this is what's going on:

1) There are TWO workshops being held this weekend, Saturday the 18th and Sunday the 19th.

SATURDAY OCTOBER 18TH: PUBLIC THRILLER WORKSHOP.

  • Where: meet @ 90 University (residence complex) on uOttawa campus for introductions and a THRILLER demonstration! We will then walk to Monpetit Dance Studio for the class.
  • When: Saturday, Oct. 18th @ 3pm. We will be meeting and going over IMPORTANT TTW info for the big event, and start the class at 4pm SHARP.
  • This workshop is open to everyone! If you cannot attend Saturday, please read below!
SUNDAY OCTOBER 19th: uOTTAWA RESIDENCE THRILLER WORKSHOP.

  • Where: meet @ 90 University (residence complex) on uOttawa campus. We will be holding the class on the 2nd floor of STANTON.

  • This workshop is for all students living in residence! 90U, Marchand, Stanton, Thompson, etc! However, if you cannot attend the SATURDAY workshop and would still like to learn the dance, I am able to accommodate some extra people. Just email me at ttw08Ottawa.UO@gmail.com.

2) REGISTRATION!

  • In order to participate in Thrill the World 2008: Ottawa on October 25th (our world record attempt) you must fill out a registration form. It is a simple, easy form we need you to fill out so we can keep track of participants, collect emergency contact info, and take care of legal issues. (Basically, please don't sue me if you happen to trip over a rock while participating in this event.)
  • ADULT (18+) Registration forms can be downloaded here: http://mihd.net/si6hnvc
  • UNDERAGE Registration forms can be downloaded here: http://mihd.net/1firy65
3) ZOMBIE COSTUME TIPS!

I have two files containing Zombie Costume Tips. One is a PDF and one is a RTF (can be opened in wordpad)

Remember to have your costume with you ready to go! We will have time to get dressed and do makeup. WE WILL NOT HAVE TIME TO CREATE WHOLE COSTUMES!

4) OCTOBER 25TH! The big day!

The schedule will be something like this:

  • 9 am: Meet, Mingle, and Register (bring your forms!)
  • 9.45 am: Rehearsal begins!
  • 12 pm: Get into zombie gear and makeup!
  • 1 pm: Make our way to Sparks St
  • 2 pm: DANCE!
  • After: Photo shoot and optional zombie party!
Remember, if you have NOT learned the Thrill the World Thriller choreography via workshop or online video, you NEED TO to be able to participate. Also, you must be able to attend the rehearsal in order to participate in the World Record Attempt.

As a final note, if you are planning on participating in the workshops and world record attempt, Please email ttw08Ottawa.UO@gmail.com with your name, age and contact information if possible. This way it is easier to determine an approximate number of people participating.
