Thursday Workshop Locations + Big Day Info!

Dear Zombielings!

ONLY TEN DAYS! It's exciting!! The TTW Ottawa team has been working very hard to keep things running smoothly for the big day, and so far, everything is on track!

Thursday workshops are being held in the Agora Square of the University Centre at uOttawa (near the Pivik!) It's a nice, central location for our workshops, and as a recap we have three more:

  • Thursday, October 15th @ Agora Square, uOttawa Uni Centre @ 6pm
  • Saturday, October 17th @ Montpetit Dance Studio, uOttawa @ 1pm
  • Thursday, October 22nd @Agora Square, uOttawa Uni Centre @ 6pm

Technically, we do have another space booked for our final thursday workshop, but as it's difficult to find, especially for non-uOttawa students, we will be meeting in the Agora Square FIRST and then moving to the room.

Please bring as many friends as possible, and don't be shy! We need all the support we can get if TTW: Ottawa is going to be a great success this year. And we really mean it about not being shy- one of our dance instructors last week spent ten minutes sitting around staring at people before someone approached her!

THE BIG DAY!

There are a few things you need for Thrill the World: Ottawa 2009! These include:

  • a water bottle
  • comfortable clothes to rehearse in
  • your zombie costume!!
  • your zombie makeup! (We will have a little bit of makeup available for everyone, but please, remember to BRING YOUR OWN!)
  • your TTW Registration/Waiver form (VERY IMPORTANT!)
Above all things, you MUST REMEMBER to bring your Registration/Waiver form. Without it, you cannot participate in the event, so please remember it!

Please fill out and print the appropriate forms:

and remember to enter "Thrill the World: Ottawa" as the event and "University of Ottawa" as the venue.

Of course, after we do the dance, it would be a lot of fun to go and party ZOMBIE STYLE! After all, it IS a Saturday night!

Um, there's no time given for the practice sessions. Makes it hard to show up for them...
