Heidi Duckler Dance Theatre performs Laundromatinee in West Hollywood in 2008

Laundromatinee first delighted viewers and washday customers at Thriftiwash Laundromat in Santa Monica in 1988. The show was reprised for Launderland in Culver City in 1998, in 2006, at the Sitelines Festival in NYC, receiving a rave review in the New York Times and in 2008 in the City of West Hollywood. This work celebrates the local coin-op as a community gathering place, a once-common neighborhood fixture that in recent years has been falling prey to urban gentrification. Its premiere performance was rated one of the decades best site-specific works in Los Angeles by Dramalogue, and one of the top dance events of 1988 by the Los Angeles Daily News. In 2010 it received a recommendation to receive the National Endowment for the Arts' American Masterpiece Grant.
