Heidi Duckler Dance Theatre, Los Angeles' best-known and most prolific site-specific dance company, has had a busy year with a revival of Duckler's breakthrough work, "Laudromatinee"; ongoing performances of "Expulsion" (in partnership with cultural organizations in Koreatown and Little Ethiopia); "Kiss n' Ride," commissioned for the Van Nuys FlyAway; and "Catch Your Breath" at the Barlow Respiratory Hospital. Highest praise, however, is reserved for "Cleopatra, CEO," January's excursion through the 51st-story penthouse suite of the Paul Hastings Tower downtown. In overlaying the Egyptian queen's story within a seat of 20th century of capitalist power (the former headquarters for ARCO), Duckler cleverly matched the ancient with the contemporary, a Middle East monarchy with big oil, and sidestepped a minefield of movement clichés.
