Choreographers Ivy Baldwin and Ursula Eagly each create worlds where the adorable and the monstrous coexist, often in the same moment. Meet Cute: Grotesque Ingénue brings these two twisted artists together for a peek at excerpts of some of their creepiest, most charming works. Following the performance, curator Sarah Maxfield leads a discussion with Baldwin and Eagly exploring the artists’ fascination with the simultaneous presentation of “beauty” and “the beast.”
