A New Intern’s View: Guest Post by April Li

April 1Greetings, Revelers!

My name is April and I am so honored to be a new event planning intern at Washington Revels. I’m finding myself in a treasure island full of wonderful people and magical discoveries. I’m under passionate and inspiring hands from such a welcoming community who are so willing to teach me the world of arts, culture, and traditions. Let me take you on a short adventure of the curious little things I found around the office!

I love how these random and exciting things are scattered around. I couldn’t help but sit in the chair that could fit two of me and giggle. As I worked, I looked above and found a colorful bird enjoying its time hanging in a corner smirking at me.

 

April 3These bells reminded me of Esmerelda from Disney’s “Hunchback of Notre Dame”, who I was head over heels for when I was a little girl. The colors just make me so giddy! I’m also fond of seeing halls of history, where I can see the evolution of costumes, pictures, stages, and plays in general.

To top it off, it’s so intriguing to see so many different kinds of props that are catered to different time periods, cultures, and stories. This is a place where imagination runs free and allows us to time travel through story-telling, singing, dancing, and simply being together as a family to celebrate!

I’m excited to be starting my Revels journey!
