Dancing in a laundromat?
Yep.

This afternoon at 5 o’clock and 6 o’clock, students from the Heidi Duckler Dance Theatre and Culver City High School’s Academy of Visual and Performing Arts will present a double feature of Laundromatinee and Cappuccino Nights at the Washing Day Coin Laundry and The Rumor Mill Coffee House, 11739 W. Washington Blvd.
Surely you never have seen anything like this.
As a bonus, you may catch the dancers in rehearsal between 3:30 and 5.
A National Endowment for the Arts’ American Masterpiece, Laundromatinee debuted, favorably, for viewers, critics and washday customers at the Thriftiwash Laundromat, Santa Monica, in 1998.
Laundromatinee is characterized as an honest, challenging work of art that springs directly from contemporary life. Celebrating the role of the laundromat as a gathering place and mourning the loss of this community fixture in the age of increasingly nuclear households, Laundromatinee takes the audience on a comical and tender tour of modern life.
Paired with the classic laundromat performance, Culver High students will create their own site-specific work under the direction of Ms. Duckler in the neighboring coffee shop, The Rumor Mill. Free to the public, the audience will enjoy both the artistic excellence of Ms. Duckler and the creative juices of some of the most creative young people in Los Angeles.
