Stephanie Acosta is a multidisciplinary artist who places the materiality of the ephemeral at the center of her practice, questioning meaning-making and manufactured limitations. Acosta will work with an ensemble of dancers, musicians, and writers to develop a new exploratory performance inspired by the American landscape, the cinematic thriller, and the site and sounds of Polyphonic Playground.

NIC Kay is an interdisciplinary artist who creates performances and performative spaces. Incorporating digital video and projections into the space of the playground, NIC plans to produce a new work inspired by children’s television shows and the sociological concept of “parallel play.”

Steven Reker is a Brooklyn-based composer and performer. Transforming Polyphonic Playground into a personalized instrument with the addition of audio samples and effects pedals, Reker simultaneously composes and choreographs as he constructs a new suite of off-kilter pop songs.

At Play, the activation of Studio PSK: Polyphonic Playground, is curated by Danny Orendorff, Manager of Public and Community Engagement Programs for the MAD Education Department.
