ROAR STORY SLAM
WASHINGTON, D.C. 2024
THEME: FORGIVENESS
ROAR Story Slam is an annual live storytelling competition where six finalists, specially selected from our submission pool, will perform their unique, creative, and authentic Korean American story for a chance to win a cash prize of up to $1,000. Each finalist will have no more than six minutes to tell their story, without the use of scripts nor props. Our goals are to encourage Korean Americans to recognize the significance and range of our community’s narratives, to document and preserve them and to showcase them for the community and beyond.
Please be advised that this program explores real-life events and narratives that reflect the diverse experiences of the Korean American community. While our intention is to present these stories authentically and respectfully, some content may not be suitable for all audiences. The program includes descriptions of experiences that some may find distressing or offensive. Viewer discretion is advised.
By attending ROAR Story Slam, you consent to the use of your voice and likeness without compensation in film, videotape, photography and/or sound recording of this event, and you agree to release Korean American Story and its sponsors from any liability on account of such use.
No entry for guests arriving after 7:30pm. Group ticket sales will not be available at Jack Morton Auditorium the night of the event.
