Friday Registration

 

Kick-off…

When: Registrations open on Friday 7th December from 9:00am to 9:45am
Where: The Recreation Centre at the University of Auckland - see the google map here for location details.

If you get really lost, we’ve got a help desk number you can ring – 022 321 7425.

Bring the print out of your ticket, or just a form of ID so we can cross your name off our growing lists!  Remember there are hundreds of people to go through registration, so make sure you get there with plenty of time to spare!

Following registrations we’ll be heading into a Mihi Whakatau at 10am and then our first plenary session with Lucy Lawless.

Check out the full programme here. But don’t fret about printing it, you’ll get your own full 20 page programme  at registration,with a map and more.

Late registrations can be made throughout the weekend at the Info Desk on the Mezzanine floor of the Recreation Centre at any time during Power Shift.

Warm up your voices…

As part of the Mihi Whakatau, our Maori welcome, we’ll be singing E Tu Kahikatea – we hope if you know it you can sing extra loud, but if you don’t check out this audio clip below for pronunciation.

E TU KAHIKATEA
E tu kahikatea (Stand like the kahikatea (tree)
Hei whakapae ururoa (to brave the storms)
Awhi mai awhi atu (embrace and receive)
Tatou tatou e (We are one together)

E tu kahikatoa (Stand with vigour)
Kare kau e hinga (You will not fall)
Awhi mai Awhi atu (Give and receive help)
Tatou tatou e (We are one together)

Help keep Power Shift sustainable

Here are a few pointers to help make sure Power Shift is sustainable….

  • Don’t forget to bring your own water bottle or reuseable coffee cup – that will help cut down loads of waste.
  • Please remember we aren’t providing kai. Pack your lunch, or there are some food options around the campus too.
  • Jump on the bus or train to get to the Uni and avoid having to pay for really expensive parking! Check out the Auckland Transport options here

 

Get your groove on…

Calling all Powershift participants with performance skills! If you’re a dancer (especially hip hop), juggler, break dancer, gymnast, acrobat, or have another performance skill, we need you for the giant flash mob!A few extra rehearsals may be required of you during lunchtimes at Power Shift, but you’ll no doubt reap the rewards with YouTube quasi-celebrity status.  Please email abbytessaward@gmail.com for more details.
