ANNA is an original work by Scarlett Wynne, Artistic Director of the New Mexico Dance Project, inspired by the aesthetics of Helen Pashgian: Presences that explores one story told from different perspectives and the intersection of those viewpoints through time, space, and interaction.

Presented at SITE Santa Fe, Wynne paints a vivid picture of our humanity through intricate partnering work and powerful imagery. All performances will be followed with a brief talkback featuring Wynne, accompanying artists, and guests.
