On March 16, 2013, Heidi Duckler Dance Theatre and Danza Floricanto/USA presented EXPULSION, an interdisciplinary work that animated a vacant lot on 1st Street and Boyle Avenue. With live music, a Curbside Conversations panel, and hundreds of audience members in attendance, the public performance catalyzed community participation and dialogue against the stunning backdrop of the downtown Los Angeles skyline. Thank you to the supporters, organizations, and individuals that made EXPULSION possible in East Los Angeles!

It's local, it's Los Angeles, it's indigenous, and it matters.

"Heidi offers the most innovative amazing dance theater. It is dance with intellect, and edge. The site specific aspect makes Los Angeles, or Oregon, or China an integral part of the dance which adds yet another dimension. She is so talented and the entire company is breathtaking to watch!"
--Laurie Ann Levitt
"Memorable as always--thanks for yet another astonishing evening with some amazing dancers, in space that will forever be marked. I felt the horror of a dying civilization and the insanity of power that's gone, maybe thankfully gone. Beautiful and wretched at the same time. Brava to you."
--Sasha Anawalt
"As someone who has struggled to sympathize with dance performance in the past, I found my experience with Heidi Duckler Dance Theatre to be surprisingly satisfying. It was easily the most thrilling exhibition of movement I've ever encountered. Heidi's approach seems to utilize a diverse range of talents in order to articulate complex and fulfilling emotional material with countless entry points suitable to people from all walks of life."
