Megan Mizanty wrote about Sarah’s work (pomegranate) in the 2024 Philadelphia Fringe Festival // Cannonball Festival for thINKing DANCE.
“A steady escalation of limbs and bones and muscles awakens. When the shrouds slide off, dancers Raquel Rodríguez, Su Güzey, sarah ingel, and Song Aziza Tucker are sprouts pushing through the soil, finding new pathways to the light. Growing and quickening, the pulsing beat reverbs through the space. There’s loose limbs like low fruit. One mourner kneads a lemon on her kneecap. Another is luscious in their rebounds to and from the ground. Now the juice is flowing, the fruit rolling, the synovial fluid lubricating. Each mourner has their moment to wash away the stillness.”

Perry Tannenbaum reviewed Sarah’s work nebulous reverence for CNVC.org:
“…her new work, which has comical and satirical overtones despite the black unisex costuming and Ingel’s explicit intent to project chaos. The three dancers deployed to intensely watch the other three, in the most memorable episode, share a bowl of popcorn as they behold the chaos, before spilling the remainder of the popcorn in their excitement. While you or I wouldn’t describe such reverence as nebulous, it was hard to argue with Ingel’s idea.”

Sarah was awarded a 2021 ASC Emerging Creators Fellowship and interviewed by by Michael Solender:
“For Ingel, the power of dance is transformative.
‘I love when a performance leads me to a different way of thinking, moves me to tears, makes me lean forward or dance along in my seat,’ she said. ‘It’s amazing that we can all experience the same piece so differently based on who we are and how we bring ourselves to the performance.’”

Sarah choreographed, performed, and directed a music video for the track Good News from Dylan Gilbert’s visual album I’ll Be the Lakebed.
Simon Clark from TheAUReview.Com:
“…captures the single’s underlying melancholy and message neatly. The figure is buffeted by the endless barrage of the twenty-four hour news cycle, whilst also trapped within its pull. According to Ingel, ‘The video is about being trapped in a cycle, fluctuating between numbness, fear, pain, shock, and anger. With so much going on, we can become consumed by the daily barrage of terrifying images — but we have to break the cycle, be “Good News” and fight for a better future.’ In 2020 that message perhaps couldn’t be more pertinent. Break the cycle, enact change – even if it’s just on a personal level.”
