And then I was going on to London. But the show was cancelled. So that was my near brush with musical theatre fame!”</p> <p>Blessedly, Robyn has continued to enjoy a more varied professional creative life. She’s recently switched from playing Kate Keller in All My Sons (Arthur Miller’s heart- wrenching play about lost soldiers), to the sharp wit of Mrs Higgins in the new Julie Andrews-directed production of My Fair Lady.</p> <p>“Each time, you begin again,” says Robyn, matter-of-factly. “That’s acting. It matters little to me whether I do two cinema roles in a row or not. I just look at the whole and see whether it will be something that will be really worth my while. You know, it’s my life! And I’m still doing it at 73, nearly 74, so it’s got to be worth my time.”</p> <p>Kate Keller was worth Robyn’s time, but at a cost. The actor admits perhaps the role was “borderline too demanding” emotionally and physically to play eight times a week. “Your body, your central nervous system, doesn’t know you’re acting. Physiologically, you go through the states that you would were it real. The fact it’s not real doesn’t mean it’s any less of a strain on your physical, mental and emotional selves. So it becomes too much. I think I’ve turned my back on the Kate Kellers of the repertoire... that’s my decision for now and I hope I don’t change my mind!”</p> <p><img src="http://probussouthpacific.org/probus/files/Club_news/OCT_NOV_16/46.png" alt="" width="299" height="448" /></p> <p><strong>The wonderful Julie Andrews</strong></p> <p>“I’ve had the LP record with Julie Andrews’ performance in My Fair Lady since it came out (featuring the original Broadway cast in 1956),” declares Robyn, proudly. “It has those wonderful caricatures of Julie Andrews and Rex Harrison on the cover; so I was exposed to it very early, the wonderful music and wonderful lyrics.”</p> <p>Sixty years later, Julie Andrews met Robyn Nevin to talk about the latest Australian production and the possibility of Robyn taking the very funny non-singing, role of Mrs Higgins.</p> <p>“We had a lovely chat about George Bernard Shaw,” beams Robyn. “I’ve directed Shaw and I’ve acted in Shaw, so it was interesting for us to share our thoughts and experiences. Obviously, it was wonderful just to be in a room with Julie Andrews and she’s everything you would expect her to be: she’s charming and warm and real, down-to-earth, and, all of those things. Really. A beautiful woman.</p> <p>“It was also absolutely wonderful sitting beside the principals at the first reading – because I’ll never be that close to them again! That was absolutely thrilling. And to watch Julie Andrews watching them and listening to them was actually very moving.”</p> <p><strong> An odd way to live a life</strong></p> <p>Although she still adores working in theatre, Robyn is planning a break from the stage after My Fair Lady to get back to more film and television work. She says she’s had no choice but to turn down roles in great television series because theatre actors have to sign a long contract, sometimes 18 months in advance.</p> <p>Besides, she’d also like more time for life, and filming days tend to be easier to manage:</p> <p>“It’s so much easier than the theatre,” she explains. “I’ve worked six nights a week most of my life so that’s been an odd way to live. I’m always going to work when most people are coming home... swimming against the tide, seeing all the lights go on in the living room as they settle in for the night and draw the curtains, and I’m about to start work. And as you get older, it gets more and more difficult to conserve your energy for the evening.”</p> <p>Still, theatre has given her a sense of communion that she can’t get in film and television.</p> <p>“It’s the connection we make on stage that relies on the audience,” she muses. “It’s the threesome: actors, audience, breathing in one space. It’s a communal experience you don’t get anywhere else apart from in church or live performance.</p> <p>“It is.” (She pauses. And sighs.) “A very beautiful thing.”</p> <p><strong>Everybody has creative potential</strong></p> <p>A life filled with drama, comedy, romance, intrigue and make-believe still sounds fabulous, despite the work hours. And it is, admits Robyn, adding that creativity should be encouraged, especially in young people.</p> <p>Just before Julie Andrews flew to Australia for My Fair Lady, she was putting the finishing touches on Julie’s Greenroom – a new television series for Net ix.</p> <p>“It’s a series Julie has created, and acts in (along with a cast of new puppets created by the Muppet Show’s Henson Co), that teaches children about the arts. It’s just a wonderful idea,” says Robyn, admiringly.</p> <p>Back in Australia, Robyn encourages parents and grandparents to help young people enjoy the arts by taking them to galleries, concerts, ballet and theatre as early as possible.</p> <p>“When I took my grandson to Swan Lake, he was kind of riveted for the first maybe 30, 40 minutes and then he was very restless,” recalls Robyn.</p> <p>“I can remember when he got to a certain age, he had what they call ‘growing pains’. Now he loves [the theatre]! He had an early grounding and that helped towards not seeing it as something so alien and off-putting, as I think a lot of young people can. So, I think, start them young!</p> <p>“Try amateur theatre too. I think it’s wonderful for young children to participate in anything that encourages them to explore their imagination and their creativity. Because everybody has an imagination and everybody has creative potential. We’re all equal when we’re born. It’s about early exposure to books, music, art, theatre – the beginnings of a lifetime’s creative journey start with parents and grandparents.”</p> <p><strong>Art is the soul of a nation</strong></p> <p>Robyn is concerned artistic institutions such as NIDA (National Institute of Dramatic Art) could struggle in a future of seemingly plentiful funding for elite sports such as Rugby League or Olympic swimming versus very little for creative pursuits.</p> <p>She points out it takes a very strong-minded leader to back arts funding because most don’t see any votes in it:</p> <p>“Art is seen [by a lot of people] as an elitist activity which has nothing to do with them, unlike sport. But sport is an elitist activity and people are proud that it’s so. People can barrack for winners in sport but can’t see the value in an artist unless you’ve had international success. High visibility too seems to be a measure of value to some people, and of course, that’s rubbish!”</p> <p>The thing is, Australian actors, costume designers, animators, film makers and the like do enjoy fantastic reputations overseas (and yes, Aussies have won lots of international film awards, including Oscars and BAFTAS), but back home, they find themselves campaigning to keep local industries going. Robyn suggests that Active Retirees readers can support local creative talent by attending local productions and letting decision-makers know what art means to them:</p> <p>“What would you miss if certain organisations were defunded? What does it mean to you and your children and their families? What does culture mean to children’s education and the spirit of the nation? The soul of a nation is very profound and it’s hard to express. And that’s why we have artists.”</p> <p><strong>About Robyn Nevin</strong></p> <p>In Robyn Nevin’s career so far she’s played all the great classical theatre roles for women (such as in Macbeth, Antony And Cleopatra, Hamlet, Cyrano De Bergerac), plus a few male roles too: Mark Antony in Julius Caesar, the Fool in King Lear and Lear herself in a reimagined Queen Lear.</p> <p>She is highly regarded as a director and chief executive in theatre, holding appointments as Artistic Director and CEO at the Queensland Theatre Company then the Sydney Theatre Company, and was awarded a Member of the Order of Australia for services to the performing arts.</p> <p>Her film credits include Careful He Might Hear You, The Eye Of The Storm, The Castle and the Matrix films; and recent television credits include Top of the Lake, Upper Middle Bogan, Cleverman, and her award-winning performance as Shasta</p> <p>in Water Under The Bridge.</p> <p>She’s currently playing Mrs Higgins in My Fair Lady, directed by another actor/ director icon: Julie Andrews.</p>", "newsletter_name" => "feature301116", "printed" => null, "created" => "2016-11-22 20:20:11", "modified" => "2016-11-22 20:20:11", "short_id" => "4875fff0", "url" => "4875fff0/Behind_the_scenes", "total_views" => "438", "intro" => "<p>From Cleopatra to The Matrix and Cleverman, veteran actress Robyn Nevin has explored many different characters during her career.

You’re in a beautiful pool, gliding down the lane, light as a feather, and you’re finally able to be at one with your thoughts. Plus, you’re getting fitter and fitter with each stroke. Anyone can become a swimmer; it’s all about being water safe, understanding the correct techniques and seeking help if you need it.</p> <p><strong>‘But I don’t know how to swim at all!’</strong></p> <p>Don’t let this stop you. There are plenty of adult swimming classes just waiting for you to attend.</p> <p>There are also plenty of older Australians who simply were never given the opportunity to learn how to swim in their childhood. In a country like Australia though, where water surrounds us and inland water bodies are in abundance, it’s imperative that people are water safe, no matter what age.</p> <p>Just search online for your closest swim school or ask people in your local community. There’s bound to be one near by.</p> <p><strong>‘I used to swim, but that was a long time ago’</strong></p> <p>Again, don’t let this stop you. If you feel your confidence is lacking, take it slowly. Start by slipping into the shallow end where you can stand comfortably and take your time to adjust. If you have access to a personal pool, perhaps start by swimming laps width-way along the shallow end, rather than heading to the deep end. Once you have your confidence back, you can start to venture out.</p> <p><strong>It’s all in the technique</strong></p> <p>While swimming laps is all fine and dandy, you’re not going to get as much benefit out of it if you’re not using the correct technique.</p> <p>Plus, just because you’re buoyant in the water doesn’t mean you’re immune to injury. You may be doing harm to your body if you’re twisting and turning the wrong way.</p> <p>Sometimes, it’s best to start with a refresher course. A swim school will help correct any inconsistencies and show you the right way to move your body so you get the most out of your swimming. At some pools, there are also lifeguards or swimming experts on hand if you need some assistance.</p> <p><strong>The benefits</strong></p> <p>They say that swimming is the perfect exercise to keep you calm and centred. By blocking out everything around you, often it’s the best time to collect your thoughts, relax into the motions and let the stress seep out of you. Swimming is a wonderful tool for your emotional and mental wellbeing. And of course, it’s also a great way to stay fit, while still being relatively easy on your body.</p> <p>It can be the perfect way to stay active if you have injuries that prevent you from walking, running or other load-bearing exercises. Or, it can be the perfect complement to your other activities.</p>", "newsletter_name" => "swimming170916", "printed" => null, "created" => "2016-09-08 19:22:44", "modified" => "2016-09-08 19:22:44", "short_id" => "f3b3a0bf", "url" => "f3b3a0bf/A_beginner’s_guide_to_swimming", "total_views" => "740", "intro" => "<p>Swimming is a wonderful way to exercise that’s easy on the joints and muscles.

But one of the greatest downsides can be no longer having an employment income. Enter your retirement portfolio.</p> <p>In an ageing population, people need more options than just their superannuation.</p> <p>“You hear of so many retirees who, after working so hard throughout their lifetime, reach [retirement] and are solely dependent on welfare payments,” says Peter Telenko, a representative from Adelaide Financial Planning. “Once in this predicament, there’s no going back. It’s not a great way to reward yourself after all those years spent working.”</p> <p>Telenko also notes that the ageing population will only put more pressure on Australia’s welfare system, unless those approaching retirement are financially prepared.</p> <p>According to an Australian Treasury Report released in 2010, “men aged</p> <p>60 in 2050 are projected to live an average of 5.8 years longer than those aged 60 in 2010, and women an average of 4.8 years longer”.</p> <p>While people spend between 40 and 50 years working, there’s still an additional 30 years or so spent in retirement. This means that when people retire, they’ll have many more years ahead of them, and they’ll need enough money to live comfortably during this time.</p> <p><strong>Planning ahead</strong></p> <p>According to Telenko, people should be thinking about their retirement in the early years of working. “The earlier you start to accumulate money, the better. It gives you the luxury to contribute a smaller amount as you can leverage on the strategy of compounding interest,” he says.</p> <p>“It’s the old analogy of pushing a small barrel of money up a gradual incline, the steepness of incline being the length of years to retirement. Compare this to a shorter timeframe with the challenge of a steeper incline – the barrel of money needs to be larger to achieve the same outcome.”</p> <p>The Financial Planning Association of Australia (FPA) suggests you think about what you need and what you’d like, being honest about which is which. While the FPA emphasises living costs, they also make note of incidentals that may pop up, such as a new car or renovations to your home. Also, don’t forget those holidays that you so richly deserve.</p> <p>And of course, throughout life, there are things that can occur that are out of your control. Markets change, legislation changes and your circumstances change. You need to be prepared for anything that may transpire.</p> <p>While you may have already retired, it’s never too late to make the most of what savings you have and make them work for you.</p> <p><strong>Diversification is key</strong></p> <p><strong></strong>The best retirement portfolio is a diversified one. It may sound clichéd, but ‘don’t put all your eggs in one basket’ needs to be your tagline when it comes to planning for your retirement. While your superannuation plays a large role in your retirement, it’s also handy to have other investments such as property, shares and even some collectables such as art, antiques or other investment options.</p> <p>Importantly, the investments in your retirement portfolio should complement each other.</p> <p>“Investment markets are exposed to different cycles, therefore you should choose investments that correlate well together. This means when one underperforms, the other may outperform,” Telenko recommends. “For example, during times when interest rates are high, you will achieve better returns from government bonds compared to shares, where company profits may erode due to the higher interest they pay on their loans.”</p> <p>Diversifying reduces your vulnerability to any changes that may occur.</p> <p>“If you have made a big effort to accumulate your nest egg for retirement solely within superannuation, the rules may change as to when you can access these funds, or there may be a change whereby the tax efficiency of this strategy is diminished,” Telenko explains.</p> <p><strong>Talk to an expert</strong></p> <p>Don’t rely on your friends or family for financial advice. Talk to a professional and try to discuss your options as early as possible with them. A plan can be developed, in consultation with you, on how you invest your money to fund your future.

Maybe it’s because people need something good to hold onto when everything else around them has turned bad – something that brings them hope. This is how the raspy sweet sounds of jazz came to France. </p> <p>During World War I, segregated troops of black American soldiers marched their unique, lively music through 3000 kilometres of small farm villages and big concert halls across France. The unpredictable, previously unheard of sounds left a lasting impression on Parisians in particular, and before long, the capital became known for its vibrant, jazz nightlife. </p> <p>During World War II, the Vichy Government banned American music, but you could still hear jazz throughout the streets of Paris. Those were the sounds that became associated with freedom and resistance – jazz was the sound of liberation.</p> <p>Once the days of war had passed, a musical revolution burst forth on the streets of Paris’ Lower Montmartre, where many musicians, dancers and entertainers returned to establish cabarets and clubs. The area became known as Black Montmartre, and a musical revolution was born.</p> <p><strong><img src="http://probussouthpacific.org/probus/files/Club_news/AUG_SEPT_16/684b2c2b9109959d3051354235dfa894.jpg" alt="" width="448" height="300" /> </strong></p> <p><strong>The father of gypsy jazz</strong></p> <p>Today, Paris plays host to some 600 jazz concerts every month. But the sounds you’ll hear creeping around corners and in underground bars will often differ from the traditional sounds created by the likes of Miles Davis and Louis Armstrong. In Paris, you’ll find yourself jiving to gypsy jazz.</p> <p>Created by the legendary Django Reinhardt, who grew up in a caravan in the Parisian suburbs, gypsy jazz is a distinctly energetic style of jazz that came about by accident. After losing the use of two of his left-hand fingers in a fire, Reinhardt was told he’d never play guitar again. Instead, he came up with a new method of playing all together, a style of jazz that incorporated three-finger chord structures balanced by smooth, rippling melodies.</p> <p><img src="http://probussouthpacific.org/probus/files/Club_news/AUG_SEPT_16/iStock_000049333532_Large.jpg" alt="" width="297" height="448" /> </p> <p>The technique was passed down to generations of Manouche gypsies by word of mouth, since Reinhardt couldn’t actually read music. It’s been more than 70 years since the one-of-a-kind, hot gypsy swing first emerged in Paris, and it continues to thrive today. Should you find yourself walking past any of Paris’ modern-day jazz venues and cafes, you’ll undoubtedly be greeted with echoes of Reinhardt’s frenetic, unpredictable rhythms.</p> <p><strong>Music in the streets</strong></p> <p>To check it out for yourself, your first stop should be La Chope des Puces – the most renowned gypsy jazz venue in Paris. A large mural of Reinhardt pays homage to the years he lived and played on this very stage, which you’ll find just moments away from the bustling flea markets at Le Marché aux Puce. The bar hosts gypsy jazz concerts on weekend afternoons, where you’ll be swept away by the sultry sounds created by maestros such as as Ninine Garcia and Patrick Saussois. Should you fancy giving it a go yourself, La Chope also has a gypsy jazz music school.</p> <p>For a lively, casual atmosphere, you can’t go past Les Petits Joueurs. The bistro-style restaurant greets some of France’s most prominent gypsy jazz musicians on a weekly basis, including Romane and Stephane Wrembel. Grab yourself some traditional French cuisine and a beer, before settling down for the jam session at 11.30pm. If you can stick it out to the early hours, you’ll be in the company of some of the best local talent Paris has to offer.</p> <p>If traditional jazz is more your style, there are plenty of places to indulge your senses. Le Duc des Lombards will keep you dancing to the nostalgic notions of Louis Armstrong until 4am. Or if you can make your way past the crowds in the Latin Quarter, the Caveau de la Huchette has hosted jazz since 1946. Dating back to the 16th century, the building’s vaulted arches and narrow stone stairways will whisk you away to another world.</p> <p>While Paris’ clubs are full of well-established artists, there are plenty of up-and-coming musicians. Café Universel’s walls are lined with American license plates and dollar bills, creating an almost grungy backdrop for young vocalists and musicians to showcase their talent. Regular visitors have formed the Paris Jazz Club and issue a monthly calendar of shows citywide, which is also available online. But if you’re pushed for time, the Tuesday night jam session is a must for jazz devotees.</p>", "newsletter_name" => "paris151016", "printed" => null, "created" => "2016-10-07 16:11:21", "modified" =>
