Ryan Ringer & Jenny Santos / Stray, Get Found
Stray, get found is collaborative performance work that centers on Joseph Campell’s idea of the “hero’s journey,” a widely accepted narrative arc detailing the many steps a story’s protagonist must take along the path to eventual triumph or failure. In the context of this project, the “hero” is anyone who answers the artists’ call to adventure, and chooses to perform in the artists’ interactive narrative situation. In so doing, participants must willingly suspend disbelief, shed themselves of accepted social conventions and enter into the narrative’s realm of creativity, poetry and spontaneity. The artists will initiate this “call to adventure” via lost-and-found-style street posters posted along 14th Street.

Saturday, October 8 and Sunday, October 9 from 1-4pm
Along the length of 14th Street.
