Water Overcomes the Stone
InnerVoice

Songs - Stories - Sock Puppets!
InnerVoice creates concert-cabaret programmes around a theme, drawing from many different sources, making no distinction between sacred and profane.
Here we explore various facets of the divine feminine in daily life. Love, grief, and shoveling snow all reflect our strengths and influence our paradigms.
This programme features the vocal trio of Carol Singer, Catharine Morris and Katherine Engel.

Cast Bio(s):
Katherine Engel, Artistic Director of InnerVoice - earned a Bachelor of Music with Teaching Certification from Syracuse University, with a concentration in voice and choral conducting. Upon completing a Master of Arts in Voice Performance in Michigan, she traversed the North American continent, from Alaska to Florida, pursuing her “starving artist” dreams, appearing in theatre, opera, historical revue and cabaret. Katherine currently lives in Minneapolis and is the artistic director of InnerVoice, as well as acting, singing and conducting at various theatres and churches in the Twin Cities. She completed the accelerated Interfaith Minister program with All Faiths Seminary International in New York City, with additional training in spiritual counseling through One Spirit Alliance, also in NY. She is ordained as an interfaith minister, and her ministry includes her work with InnerVoice, writing and performing ceremonies, and spiritual counseling. Katherine seeks to integrate music and the Spirit in a way that encourages each of us to grow on our journeys of deepening consciousness.

Sorry, reviews are not being accepted at this time.




When I first met Katherine Engel at the initial producers meeting for Spirit in the House, I had to wonder how one could be “ordained” as an interfaith minister. Now I know. Though I suspect “foreordained” might be an equally appropriate description. Inner Voice sings spirit into being with power, grace and beauty. I tend to be a little squeamish about new age woo-woo - 18 years as an Episcopal clergy wife will have that effect on you. But this show was present, focussed and charged. It kept my attention - and Buddha knows just how hard that is to do. (It was also nice to know that not every poem of Emily Dickinson need be sung to the Yellow Rose of Texas.) I particularly appreciated one narrative excerpt from G. Willow Wilson’s The Comfort of Strangers, an American convert to Islam, about being in the “women’s car” on a commuter train in Cairo. It offered a perspective on the wearing of hajib that I have heard before, but never really “bought.” Here, however, I lived it. And we all need more sock puppets in our lives. I urge you not to miss this show. It will refresh you.
