Yet for all the lavish encomiums, Cranko is the first to admit that he and his relatively small company still need five or more years of maturing before they are ready to lay claim to the authentic "Stuttgart style" label some critics have already begun to discuss in glowing, enthusiastic terms. But one thing is already certain: not since the city's celebrated Ballet Reformer Jean-Georges Noverre...
