Agresta, a Michener Center degree candidate, is one of the forces behind the site-specific works Music for Houses and The Moveable Feast. His new work The Proximitator is described: "High above the city, three rooms look out on each other and on a skyline of glass and concrete. Characters stare out through their windows or peer into digital screens in search of one another. Are they coming closer together, or falling further apart?" The production is a staged reading with a feedback session immediately following.
