Message from Catherine Kinsman, the creator of “Spiral - The Musical”
"I was not thinking about writing a musical. But one afternoon a couple of years ago, some lyrics and melodies began “singing themselves” through me and I was surprised to realize these were the voices of two characters I would later name Josh and Lana.
Looking back to that moment, I see an elegance and divine intentionality in how the creative muse of musical theater showed up at the same time I was beginning to dive deeply into books, courses and practices on the subject of conscious evolution. I have been enthralled to discover how quantum science lines up with the sacred wisdom of the world’s spiritual traditions and how it is helping to evolve our consciousness at this critical moment when humankind threatens itself and all life on earth.
While the characters and locations are fictional, Spiral is not grounded in fantasy, but based on a cross-pollination of the world’s current leading edge scientific and spiritual consciousness, colored by the inspiration of miracles showing up in my own life too – among them, this blessed cast, crew, musicians, production team, my writing collaborators!! We’re so moved that you are adding to the magic of this special idea – the beginning of the unfolding journey of Spiral."
Where We Are Now...
Nearly There!
As Spiral enters its fifth year of development, the writers continue creating and refining this extraordinary project. We could not be more excited about the work—strongly believing that the quality of the musical is among the best we have collectively seen. We are also deeply aware how important this project is—in order to raise awareness of the swiftly changing circumstances in the Amazon rainforest.
While we continue to submit to a variety of contests and venues to begin the process of connecting with producers and investors, our primary effort is in the completion of the libretto in preparation for our next step of a full-length developmental workshop production. With both Act 1 and Act 2 nearly done and 22 of the 24 songs written, a context gathering trip to Equador complete, the creative team continues to tweak songs and story so we can take Spiral to those who would most appreciate what we've accomplished—the audience!
