If you want to perform - and have some talent - Columbia University is looking for you to get your audition on and perform in their annual Asian American showcase cultureShock:

The Asian American Alliance is auditioning student acts for it’s annual performance of cultureSHOCK, a showcase of talented Asian American performing artists. This year’s theme is exposure.

This year, we’d like to feature more student acts. Please come prepared with a 2-5 minute preview of whatever you think is best for our show. cultureSHOCK prides itself on a medley of diverse and interesting acts. In previous years we’ve had everything from spoken word, slam poetry, power ballads, cello/electric violin-rock, stand-up comedy, hip hop, interpretive dance, theatre… Rather than draw all our talent from independent groups across the nation, we’d LOVE to tap into Columbia’s fresh, innovative and amazing talent and bring YOU to the stage!
