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?"
