Kramer, Eileen

Eileen Kramer (8 November 1914 – 15 November 2024) was an Australian dancer, artist, performer, choreographer, and supercentenarian. She began by studying singing and music in Sydney in the 1930s, but after attending a performance of the Bodenwieser Ballet in 1940, she immediately decided on a career change to dance. After joining the troupe that had made such an impression on her, she toured around Australia and overseas for the next decade. She then lived and worked in France and the United States for the next 60 years, before returning to Australia at the age of 99, where she remained active in the arts until her death at the age of 110. Back in Australia, Kramer met choreographer/filmmaker Sue Healey, with whom she collaborated in several film and video works.
