The theme for the World View Ball by Mr. Tillman to be held on Friday, Feb 2, 2024, is The Inklings. This is the group of writers that included CS Lewis (Chronicles of Narnia), JRR Tolkien (Lord of the Rings), Dorothy Sayers (Lord Peter Wimsey mystery series), and Charles Williams (really strange stories). There are some requirements for you to know, but they differ depending upon whether you are part of my academic classes (World View Studies) or are simply a dance student.
Academic students (whether you are coming to the ball or not) must:
Academic students are not required to actually attend the ball, but if you do, you will need to purchase a ticket and make/purchase/rent a costume for the ball. The costumes need to be appropriate for what the character would wear to a formal ball of the time period they would have lived.
Dance students must, if you wish to come to the ball:
Of course, dance students are not required to come to the ball, but if you do, you must follow the above requirements.
