Episode 59: Hannah Ueckert

by Rachel Caldwell

Hannah Ueckert joins me for episode 59! Hannah is a beautiful dancer with a heart full of love for God and for others. She is working full time as the operations manager with Mei/Co. Dance alongside Meggie Belisle in College Station. I love hearing from Hannah about Mei/Co. Dance’s current work sharing people’s stories through dance and about the impact the arts can make on the lives of those around us. Hannah and I met while we were both dancing for Ad Deum II Dance Company. Since then, she has done a lot of teaching at various dance studios as well as working behind the scenes in relations with communications, stage managing, assistant stage managing, and event coordinating. Hannah also performed with Open Sky Arts Collective for five years before beginning her work with Mei/Co. Dance. In our conversation, we dive into the topics of dealing with injury, slowing down intentionally, quieting the noise in our lives, and creating space to listen to God. I love Hannah’s heart for drawing near to God.
