"EILEEN KRAMER (1914-2024) was an Australian dancer, choreographer, artist and writer. Eileen was an original member of the influential Bodenwieser dance company in 1939 in Sydney. She danced with Bodenwieser for many years before she travelled to live in India, Europe and America for most of her life. She returned to Australia at the age of 99 and created several choreographies, The Early Ones, A Buddha's Wife and the Now Project and several films with Sue Healey. Eileen published her first memoir, Walkabout Dancer, in 2008, and a fantasy novel The Heliotropians, in 2009. This was followed in 2018 by Eileen: Stories from the Phillip Street Courtyard, chronicling her bohemian adventures sharing an inner-Sydney rooming house in the 1930s. In 2020 she published Elephants and Other Stories, as well as conceiving a new work for film, The God Tree, released in 2021. A new memoir, Life Keeps Me Dancing, was published by Pan Macmillan in 2023. She died at age 110 in November 2024."
