Cranko’s associates

Cranko’s working life was divided into three distinct phases – South Africa, England and Germany.

Wherever Cranko was he associated with people distinguished in the arts. Among them were painters, musicians, dancers, administrators and teachers. Some, like Balanchine and Piper were already well established. Others, especially dancers and designers, Cranko helped to embark on highly distinguished careers.
