Artistic Blind Date Artists on Being a Part of Source Festival

Martin Gendelman

To get away from the University cycles and into the city and because of my interest in cross-disciplinary collaborations.

To be given the experience to collaborate on a piece with other artists that I did not previously know

I thought it would be too intriguing not to try for this, so I applied and unfortunately I was accepted.  Just kidding.  Although everything about this project has been different from the way I usually work, i.e. collaborating with a puppeteer and visual artist, performing in a rehearsal space, mostly improvising rather than composing music, not to mention having to play on a toy piano, this has ultimately been a most rewarding artistic venture!  I’ve had a blast, made some new friends, and expanded my horizons. I’m grateful to have been allowed this opportunity.

I love that Source supports the production of new work and the artists behind it. The Artistic Blind Date was a fantastically challenging and rewarding process and the complete openness of the project was both terrifying and overwhelming. It is a treat to be a part of this festival!
