On October 24, 2009, people of all age groups got rid of their everyday clothes and slipped into something more zombie-esque. For a change, makeup palettes were not used to create an understated/sophisticated autumn-look; instead, they served as a means to create that fascinatingly grotesque complexion of decay. The occasion was the annual Thrill the World – the “worldwide simultaneous dance for world records and charity”. Dancer/choreographer Ines Markeljevic aka Ines Markelle from Canada, came up with the idea for this event in 2005. Her aim is to encourage people to express themselves through dancing -including those who think they were born with two left feet. (Markeljevic 2008). To make matters easy, she uploaded a teaching video on YouTube that breaks down the rather complex choreography into forty smaller, and easy-to-follow sequences. What is remarkable about Thrill the World is that it gives everyone the opportunity to raise money for a charitable cause. Thus, anyone can become the creator of a Thrill the World event in their hometown. Mari Tamburo, Thrill the World Sausalito-creator raised funding for the Artsboretum –an organization that is dedicated to support Sausalito’s music and arts community. Tamburo taught multiple lessons to those eager zombie-volunteer dancers (including yours truly!) and the outcome was remarkable. At precisely 5.30 p.m. those sixty-two zombies began to move their weary limbs across Gabrielson Park and excited their audience when they simultaneously began to dance.
