Martin Ivo Fredrik Carl Cramér (born March 5, 1921 in Gothenburg, died April 30, 2009 in Stockholm, Sweden) was a Swedish dancer, choreographer, ballet director and director. He was the son of Carl-Rudolf Cramér and the nephew of Harald Cramér and married to Tyyne Talvo Cramér. Biography Cramér often worked in a folklorically inspired style with a burlesque vein and mimic elements. His dance dramas have often had historical and religious motifs. The key work The Lost Son is, for example, inspired by valley paintings from the 18th century that depict the biblical story of the lost son. He was a member of ''Svenska dansteatern'', which in 1945 staged the ballet ''Flickan som trampade på brödet.'' The performance was brought to Norway the same autumn, and as a choreographer in Norway he had eventually led over seventy productions, including ''Ridder Blåskjeggs mareritt'' from 1960.

Artists From Bærum
An artist is a person engaged in an activity related to creating art, practicing the arts, or demonstrating an art. The common usage in both everyday speech and academic discourse refers to a practitioner in the visual arts only. However, the term is also often used in the entertainment business, especially in a business context, for musicians and other performers (although less often for actors). "Artiste" (French for artist) is a variant used in English in this context, but this use has become rare. Use of the term "artist" to describe writers is valid, but less common, and mostly restricted to contexts like used in criticism. Dictionary definitions The ''Oxford English Dictionary'' defines the older broad meanings of the term "artist": * A learned person or Master of Arts. * One who pursues a practical science, traditionally medicine, astrology, alchemy, chemistry. * A follower of a pursuit in which skill comes by study or practice. * A follower of a manual art, such as a m ...

The Boy Friend (musical)
''The Boy Friend'' (sometimes misrepresented ''The Boyfriend'') is a musical by Sandy Wilson. Its original 1954 London production ran for 2,078 performances, briefly making it the third-longest running musical in West End or Broadway history (after ''Chu Chin Chow'' and ''Oklahoma!'') until they were all surpassed by ''Salad Days''. ''The Boy Friend'' marked Julie Andrews' American stage debut. Set in the carefree world of the French Riviera in the Roaring Twenties, ''The Boy Friend'' is a comic pastiche of 1920s shows, in particular early Rodgers and Hart musicals such as ''The Girl Friend''. Its relatively small cast and low cost of production makes it a continuing popular choice for amateur and student groups. Sandy Wilson wrote a sequel to ''The Boy Friend''. Set ten years later, and, appropriately, a pastiche of 1930s musicals, in particular those of Cole Porter, it was titled ''Divorce Me, Darling!'' and ran for 91 performances at London's old Globe Theatre in 1965.

It set a record for the longest run of any musical on Broadway up to that time and was followed by a hit London production. Rex Harrison and Julie Andrews starred in both productions.
