Episode 124: Hannah Anderson
I am so excited to have the lovely Hannah Anderson back on the podcast for episode 124! Hannah joined us previously on episode 39 where she shared more about her professional dance journey and backstory. Hannah is currently the director of Earthen Image Movement, and she is currently producing a collaborative dance concert entitled “For the Beauty of the Earth.”
In this conversation, Hannah reflects on the creative process, her personal journey of learning to acknowledge her limitations, and how our dependence on God invites us into a deeper relationship with Him. She also discusses the purpose of art and how it can be a means of healing and connection for both the artist and the audience. I loved this conversation and am so grateful for Hannah’s beautiful spirit and depth of wisdom!
