A Duke Workday: Working Hand in Hand with Students to Create Theatrical Performances
Each video in “A Duke Workday” series connects you with a staff and faculty member who shares and represents the Duke values of respect, trust, inclusion, discovery and excellence. Is there a colleague you would like for us to highlight in “A Duke Workday?” Let us know.
Hannah Haverkamp, Lecturing Fellow of Theater Studies in the Department of Theater Studies at Duke, immerses herself in the performing arts on campus. In her role, she oversees the costume shop, making garments alongside work-study students, while also teaching the fundamentals of theatrical construction.
The costume shop is responsible for creating garments for annual main stage productions as well as faculty led projects. Haverkamp, who recently finished her first academic year in the department, brims with excitement when discussing the opportunity to work closely with students.
“That is the most rewarding part,” she said.
In this edition of “A Duke Workday,” get to know Haverkamp and learn about the work that is required to create the elaborate costumes that viewers get to enjoy on stage.
