Kollaboration DC

I’ve attended two Kollaboration DC events. The very first one and the third one. It’s a good time! Mr. Christian Oh and his team does an amazing job putting this event together. Amazing entertainment. Love the music acts. There needs to be more dancing though! Bring friends and come dressed for the after party.

Saturday.
Quickie:
+Friendly service
+Great entertainment

Suggestions:
*Have different types of food available outside

And then???
Awesome event!

Great annual Asian-​American talent showcase. The emcee was hilarious and the contestants and guest performers were really talented — all in all a highly entertaining evening. Thanks to Unilocal,I was able to get VIP tickets to the show and it great — better seating and a fun swag bag to boot.

Awesome event to showcase national Asian-​American talent. It was my first time attending this year courtesy of Kristin/​Yelp. It was held at GW’s Lisner Auditorium and I had center floor seats. The MC, Walter, was absolutely hilarious. I greatly enjoyed the dancing and female solo singing acts. I plan on attending this event next year.

This year Kollaboration DC was held at the University of District of Columbia performance theater. I knew how to get to UDC but it was sure hard to find the performance theater. It was nice to see all the young Asian-​Americans of the DC-​MD-​VA area showed up to support the talents. Thanks to Kristin M I scored a ticket to the event and thanks to Esther the lady at the ticketing I scored VIP seating. That made life just so much more fantastic! The competiton was a close one there were many singers but I was wowed by the dancers more. The special guests blew my mind! Lionz of Zion did some sick break dancing moves and Chip Han was last year’s winner was super talented with Beep Boxing! It was amazing! Great show!

Being part of the Kollaboration staff for DC really was nervewrecking up to the very last minute of the show, but in the end, all 9 months of hard work really paid off. Everyone was amazing especially all the contestants and guest performers! We were so grateful to have Paul «PK» Kim, founder of Kollaboration, come out to MC for the show being that this would be his last year to host. Last but not least, we definitely couldn’t have done it without the sponsors and guest judges as well as all 1300 attendees who came to witness our first Kollaboration show for DC. Of course huge thanks to Unilocal for sponsoring our 1^st show so Thank you! Let’s continue the movement and hope for an even better one next year! =)

This was the first year for Kollaboration DC, which is a regular event in other cities where Asian and Pacific Americans showcase their arts and talent through singing and dancing. This year it was held at the GW Lisner to a completely packed house. For the price of admission, you got a ton of great entertainment and admission to an awesome happy hour afterwards where everyone got together to hangout with the artists.
The organizer, Christian Oh, did a great job and if you didn’t get a chance to go this year, I hope Unilocalers can make it next year since it’s really a worthwhile event.
