NICOLE CLEARY

There has never been a more crucial time to have a filmmaker like Louis Theroux in our midst, with his documentaries into subcultures, uncomfortable realities, and the complexities of humans who exist on the fringes. As journalism becomes more about quick bites, in an increasingly busy world Theroux’s deep dives into some of the world’s weirdest subjects cover a path less and less travelled. He interviews without judgment, and yet his cynicism – when required – is palpable. He is our cover feature, ahead of a January 2020 Australian tour, including a Melbourne show. ●

FIRST PERSON

“ I am Sandra Bader ” … a canine massage therapist In my old life, I studied anthropology and worked in

academia for a bit. But it wasn’t where I saw myself. After that I did a course in therapeutic massage, remedial massage and shiatsu for humans, and then migrated to dogs because I realised it’s really hard on my body working with humans. My dog was also having problems. He was limping so I thought, why don’t I apply what I know to him? There are so many massage therapists for humans out there, but hardly any for dogs. After doing a course in canine myofunctional therapy, I started my business, Paws4Paws, five years ago. A lot of my “clients” are old dogs with arthritis and general stiffness. But I also have younger dogs. Generally, their owners take them to the park, but don’t warm them up. There’s a lot of small injuries, pulled muscle fibres. I also do palliative care with old dogs. I’ve lost a few clients already over the past five years, which is very sad. I’m with them until the end and just try to keep them more comfortable and alleviate the pain. Canine massage therapy is slowly getting more popular here. But in saying that, a lot of people still don’t know it exists. So when I tell people what I do, they’re surprised and some people are quite critical at first. But then I explain the benefits and people see it makes sense. I go to my clients’ houses because it is easier for me and for the dog to relax. They know the environment and they know the smells and the owner is there. I am with the dog wherever the dog is more comfortable. It’s about building a relationship really. If the dog’s hyperactive, it can take three or four sessions until the dog really relaxes completely. With other dogs, their nature’s a bit slower and calmer. It depends on what the issue is, and if they’re in pain. It’s different with humans because I can talk to a human and say, “OK, this might hurt a little bit or might be a bit tender, just communicate with me and let me know what’s going on”. That doesn’t work with a dog, obviously. It’s finding that balance between doing my work and telling or showing the dog, “look it’s OK, I’m not going to hurt you”. ● ● paws4paws.com.au

COVER STORY

B DARK MATTERS Chronicler of the weird, Louis Theroux is bringing his live show to Melbourne’s stage. Wo r d s

JA N E R O C CA

DOM A IN REV IEW

ritish documentarian Louis Theroux never planned a career as a storyteller beyond his first journalism gig aged 21 at a San Jose newspaper, and thanks filmmaker Michael Moore for giving him the chance to seek beyond it. Theroux has spent the past 25 years making documentaries about cults, sex workers, UFOs, Nazis and polygamists and takes his viewers where few dare to go – face to face in some rather confronting situations. “I wasn’t that successful working in print. I mean I enjoyed people telling me their story and writing about their obsession in a news article, but after a few years I met Michael Moore and it changed my life,” Theroux says. “Michael saw something in me I didn’t see in myself and sent me off to do a report for his new show TV Nation and it was at that moment I thought ‘maybe this is something I could do’.” When TV Nation ended, Theroux created Weird Weekends for the BBC. It had a successful run between 1998-2000. He went deep into cults and religious groups who believe the world is coming to an end, teasing out the extreme point of view for compelling viewing. Then came When Louis Met from 20002002, interviewing various British

“I have always been interested in forming human relationships with people who are on the fringe.” “The subject of mental health has always interested me, and at times it can be very emotional to be that up close and personal in someone’s journey,” he says. “What I try to do is destigmatise mental health and yet try to find a way to get these people who are vulnerable and acting as normal as they can in their circumstances to not be afraid to show it.” Theroux returns to Australia for a new stage show, Without Limits, after he last visited in 2016. Hosted by Julia Zemiro and featuring special guest Shirley Phelps-Roper, who starred in his 2007 documentary The Most Hated Family in America, Theroux will delve into the making of his documentaries, his encounters with various subcultures and an extraordinary catalogue of work. “In divided times, the sensitive nuanced approached is even more valuable and you have to hold your nerve,” he says of his approach. “You have to go to difficult places and tell your story as best you can.” A compelling exploration of US college rape was a difficult documentary to make, according to Theroux. “The Night in Question was about allegations of sexual assault on campuses in America and following a guy accused of

celebrities. It included a segment with the late BBC radio personality Jimmy Saville who, years after it aired, was charged with 500 sex offences. He died in 2011. “I have always been interested in forming human relationships with people who are on the fringe and building bridges with them with the view of understanding them in a fuller way,” Theroux says. The 49-year-old father of three, who lives in London, was born in Singapore to an American father (writer Paul Theroux) and a British mother. He has written a new book, a memoir Gotta Get Theroux This about his life on camera, the inner machinations of his mind and his odd career choice. His memoir reveals a child who was anxious; admitting it was this that drove him to become totally work focused for a long period of time. “Nowadays, I really take each year as it comes,” he says. “It wasn’t until making Weird Weekends in 1998 for the BBC that I thought I would have a whole career making shows for TV. I have never allowed myself to think this is my permanent job. But I’ll take it.” Theroux has covered topics of mental health – from post-partum psychosis to the confronting nature of dementia and the importance of touch during memory loss – which have even left him lost for words.

rape,” he says. “We didn’t know where the story would go, but knew there was a moral and ethical tension that exists between the urge to respect due process and not rush into judgment and the seriousness of rape. “That’s the heart of the matter in what we do and what I love about documentary making. The fact those two completely valid ethical imperatives do come into conflict sometimes makes the process very difficult at times.” Theroux says making documentaries since US President Donald Trump entered the White House has opened up the playing field. “I think the world has changed a lot since Trump came into power,” he admits. “Trump was a twinkle in the eye of the American voting public all those years ago, and I think now we find a world transformed in his image in certain respects. “For me, as a student of weirdness, I feel as though my niche pursuit of people who are in different ways strange, dangerous or unconventional, have taken the White House hostage, which I think is fascinating. I think because of the nature of what I do, I have a unique insight into that in some way.” ● LOUIS THEROUX WITHOUT LIMITS \ January 19, 2020, the Plenary at Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre. ● mcec.com.au

Watch this space SPRING RACING Kennedy evokes its hallmarkstyle and attention to detail inside the Birdcage at the Melbourne Cup Carnival.

hey don’t call it “Millionaires’ Row” for nothing. Occupying prime real estate in the Birdcage brings lofty expectations of design greatness, and the Kennedy marquee – an international collaboration between the Australian luxury watch house, an Italian design firm and Swiss construction specialists – is bringing the dazzle to this year’s spring racing carnival. Kennedy has been a fixture of the Birdcage at Flemington since 2017, but this is the first year executive chairman James Kennedy has taken the leap to a trackside position. And he didn’t leave things to chance when it came to entertaining his guests across the four-day carnival, recruiting the talents of Italian design house La Cellula for a bespoke marquee that takes inspiration from the leather, wood and brass of

DOM A IN REV IEW

racing stables and elevates them to high-luxe. “We’ve moved to the front row this year and have embraced the fact we can create the height and space to get visibility onto the track. For us the marquee is all about celebrating a day at the races,” Kennedy says. A Melbourne Cup Carnival marquee is not something a company enters into lightly – the design and execution and wow-factor has to be pitch-perfect – and the all-new Kennedy marquee is a collaboration as meticulous as the workings of one of its famous timepieces. There was a telling synchronicity in the partnership with Swiss company Expomobilia, a long-time collaborator with La Cellula that brought the designs to life and had them shipped, flat-pack style, to Australia. The production specialists have

“The materials and the colour scheme are designed to convey the feeling of entering a prestigious club.” been heavily involved with the installation and execution of leading watch brands at the prestigious annual Baselworld Watch and Jewellery Show. “Expomobilia is one of the key players in Baselworld, so we had a conversation with them earlier this year, spoke to them about the Melbourne Cup Carnival and our pavilion and the rest is history,” Kennedy says. The two-level marquee with a track-facing firstfloor terrace was inspired by the elegance of the equestrian sports, while also obliquely referencing the Kennedy values of tradition and quality. “The materials and the colour scheme are designed to convey the feeling of entering a prestigious club, combining the art of design and equine grace,” says La Cellula designer Ottavio Di Chio.

Kennedy’s Birdcage marquee’s design reflects “equine grace”.

Clad in a semi-transparent metal mesh facade, the pavilion plays with natural light, while materials – natural oak and brown leather through to the use of topstitching and burnished brass – recreate the warm authenticity of a racing club. A horseshoe-shaped lounge and suspension lamps tie in the theme, along with a striking series of equine photographs by Giana Terranova. The marquee’s Exhibition of Wonders – a showcase of selected timepieces from the world’s best watchmaking brands, including Rolex, Patek Philippe, IWC, Panerai, Cartier, Tudor and Ulysse Nardin – is not only a point of difference, it was also the area requiring the highest attention in design, Di Chio says. ● ● kennedy.com.au

RETIREMENT LIVING

Young at heart Preschoolers became a fountain of youth for retirement home residents, and charmed Australia.

NIGEL WRIGHT

here’s a moment in the second episode of ABC’s runaway reality hit Old People’s Home For 4 Year Olds that executive producer Debbie Cuell recalls as a standout. Eric, 85, is leading superheroloving youngster Aiden around a remembrance walk at their retirement village. But the four-year-old is puzzled. “What was the war?” he says. His elderly friend goes on to carefully explain how “people like him” fought each other and died.

Situated in the heart of one of Melbourne’s finest suburbs, surrounded by exceptional amenities, The Benson encapsulates an unparalleled quality of retirement living.

“It was a poignant moment and the look of shock on this four-year-old’s face was quite evident,” Cuell says. “That was just one of the scenes that really stayed with me.” It wasn’t the only highlight in the show that quietly won its time slot when it aired on the ABC this year. Cuell and a team of producers worked tirelessly to pull together the kind of reality series that had never been shown before in Australia. Based on a unique social experiment where a group of older retirement home residents are

“To see how (the children) brought these older Australians out of themselves and got them moving again – it was very moving.” brought together with a group of preschoolers, audiences witnessed how inter-generational contact can improve the health and wellbeing of the elderly. Over seven weeks, two groups of 11 older Australians and 10 preschoolers came together for activities each day in a specially designed preschool built within the retirement home. It is exceptionally moving, with moments of sadness intertwined with spontaneity and joy. Cuell says she can understand why the concept resonated so well with Aussie audiences. “I think because everybody has parents, either alive or no longer alive, and has probably seen them age and go through the same issues and then

you see these four-year-olds who are so unaffected by life yet. “They are not sneaky. They are pure. “To see how they brought these older Australians out of themselves and got them moving again – it was very moving. “It offers a lot of hope.” A veteran of television producing, Cuell can’t help but shed a tear when talking about the broader impact the program may have had. “In a way it has helped highlight the problems we will all face and that we should always look out for others and be cared for in the same way,” Cuell says. “We all get so busy. It’s easy to forget.”

The executive producer says she has always lobbied for and worked on the kind of programs she believes can reach out and touch the audience. Old People’s Home For 4 Year Olds was no exception. “What a privilege to bring two vulnerable but delightful age groups

together in the hope of capturing something that could change the way we look after our ageing population,” she says. But filming was not without its challenges. Selecting the correct production team to work with the two groups that were generations apart and were vulnerable in different ways took time and careful consideration. “Our duty of care to the groups was paramount,” Cuell says. “We needed patience, understanding, and respect for each and every one of the participants.” ●

Exercise for all ages

ike most of us, the older I get the more I tell myself that age is just a number. I really believe that this is true. I have worked with thousands of people in their 50s, 60s and beyond and witnessed that biological age and chronological age are very different. I meet 40-year-olds who don’t take care of themselves who have a biological age of 70 and I’ve worked with very active, health-conscious 70-yearolds who live life better than most 30-year-olds. Ageing is inevitable so let’s embrace it and make sure we take better care of ourselves for a longer and better quality life.

Prevention or delay of disease Reduced risk of falls ■ Increased confidence ■ Weight management Anything that increases muscle mass and bone density as we age is vital. If we do nothing, we lose these things fast. When it comes to selecting the right exercise routine, you should weigh up risk versus return. Ask yourself, what is going to give me the best return and the lowest risk? Here are some key activities through different decades and their benefits: ■ ■

40s & 50s \ JUST SOME OF THE BENEFITS TO EXERCISING AFTER 40 \ ■ ■ ■

Reduced risk of stroke and heart attack Increased bone density May reduce risk of dementia

Lifestyle changes (such as kids and careers) as we age often cause us to move less when we hit our 40s. This is a time in our lives where we want to ensure our workouts include cardio and some form of resistance. From circuit training to sensible HIIT

workouts through to walking, jogging, bike riding and swimming, the key to this age is some form of resistance, some form of cardio and consistency. 60s, 70s & BEYOND \

As you get into your 60s and 70s (remember, I’m generalising), you may want to pick workouts that are gentler on the muscles and joints. Swimming and water-based workouts, cycling and band resistance would be my picks. It’s also important to note the social benefits of staying active when exercising and socialising meet. For example: dancing, golf, tennis – there can be huge benefits to mind and body in these pursuits. ● ● 28bysamwood.com

OUTDOOR LIVING

A touch of Europe

hen Colin Kupke and his business partner Shane Sinnott founded Cosh Living in 2008, the typical Australian backyard was a remarkably different place than it is now. While interior decorating and gardening had become popular hobbies (in part thanks to a surge of renovation television programs), stylish outdoor furniture remained an afterthought for most home owners. Instead, this space was often left to tackle “down the track”, making the backyard feel removed and uninspiring compared to a home’s interiors. As Kupke recalls it, “The furniture was very disorientated in design, look and feel from what was inside the house. There was not a lot of design to it, and not a lot of the longevity or lifespan.” Eleven years later, Kupke says the same emphasis once placed only on living rooms is also being applied to outdoor areas. These modern exterior spaces now serve as a direct extension of many

lounge areas, and feature furniture of the same style and quality. “You can certainly gain some beautiful quality and design in outdoor furniture now. Home owners can continue the same type of story with their style from the indoor to the outdoor to keep the same look and comfort throughout,” Kupke says. Cosh Living is one of the leading companies behind the evolution of the Australian backyard. The business is responsible for bringing some of the world’s most acclaimed European furniture brands to the country for the first time including Dedon, Tribu and Manutti. “If you want the designs, styles and the quality of those brands, then we are the only place in Australia you can buy them,” Kupke says. Cosh Living also has its own Melbourne-based manufacturing arm. This manufacturing element allows customers to order custom-made cushions and upholstery specifically to suit their furniture, with an average turnaround of six weeks on

upholstered sofas, not 12 to 16 weeks as is common elsewhere in the industry. Recognising the way home owners increasingly link their interior and exterior spaces, Cosh Living began stocking indoor furniture labels in 2016. Their interior collections – including those by its own in-house furniture label, Kett, led by designer Justin Hutchinson – showcase the same contemporary aesthetic Cosh Living is known for, enabling customers to easily create a cohesively furnished indoor-outdoor area. “We like to use colours and textures that are a little bit earthy in look and relate well to nature, with a whole range of materials that can add texture, softness and a really nice general feel,” Kupke says. Quality is also another key value shared among all Cosh Living brands. “We invest in brands who use materials that are made to cope with the conditions we have in Australia and we expect to get some real longevity in the furniture that we sell,” Kupke says. “Fabrics will ultimately break down, fade or become stained, but the furniture remains in really good condition. We find ourselves replacing cushion

covers for people just to revitalise their outdoor furniture many years down the track.” Perhaps surprisingly, Kupke says the number one element of a well-designed outdoor space isn’t a stylish aesthetic, but comfort. “When you’re home and when you’re outside, that’s your relaxation time,” he says. “You’ve worked hard to get there, so why not be as comfortable as you possibly can, while still using furniture that has a look and feel to it that suits your whole home environment.” Some of his current favourite pieces for achieving this include Tribu’s Senja sofa, the Kett Frame walling system, Kett’s Otway collection, and the Mbrace and Tibbo collections by Dedon. Cosh Living distributes furniture Australia-wide and has showrooms in Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane and Perth. ● ● coshliving.com.au IN PARTNERSHIP WITH

MAT THEW WAKEFIELD & CIARA CHAOMHANACH

hen year 8 student Matthew Wakefield joined Camberwell Grammar last year, Ciara Chaomhanach was his form teacher. As head of learning enhancement, Ciara has worked with Matthew’s teachers to ensure he has the resources he needs to effectively manage a visual impairment. The two have developed a strong working relationship.

When I met Ms Chaomhanach, she was helpful from the start. She’s always been flexible in helping me get what I need to learn with the rest of the class. When she did work on the board, she also said things out loud, so I knew what was happening. Ms Chaomhanach and I catch up at recess once or twice a week. She reminds me to stay organised and speaks to my teachers, so instead of me spending time explaining what my needs are, teachers already know because Ms Chaomhanach prepares them. Recently Ms Chaomhanach helped me get a new calculator and she’s arranged for my teachers to use Zoom and to make sure information in class goes on my laptop. If she wasn’t here it would be a lot harder to have things in place that help me learn. She also reminds me of things I need to do for class, or she’ll remind me about a music concert I have coming up. We have fun, too. I’ll never forget kayaking down the river together at camp, near Somers last year. We were in a kayak together and Ms Chaomhanach was guiding, but I was doing most of the work. We got stuck in a lot of seaweed! After school I’m thinking about university but most of all I want to travel. With my family I’ve been to Victoria Falls, the Grand Canyon and Table Mountain in Cape Town. Next year I’m going on a school trip to South America and to the Amazon and the Galapagos Islands. Travel is very interesting for me. It’s a way that I learn about different places and their history and people.

CIARA SAYS ... Matthew is a remarkable guy and it’s my role to keep encouraging him at school and to be a bit bossy. I tease Matthew and say I’m like an extra mum! But because we have a good working relationship, he responds well and stays on top of

his learning and he uses technology effectively to help himself. I also meet with his teachers to make sure they’re supported to help Matthew learn. More generally, I look after boys who have a diagnosis of a specific learning difficulty. I wanted to be a teacher since the age of four and initially trained as a primary school teacher. I love that snapshot moment when a child suddenly goes from not knowing to knowing. I’m particularly interested in working with children with specific learning difficulties and figuring out the puzzle of how those children learn. I did a masters in specific learning difficulties and I’m fascinated by learners who don’t fit the regular mould.

Matthew’s sense of humour makes him easy to work with and what he does astounds me. He gets involved in everything at school and has a fabulous brain. He’s memorised a map of the world and can tell you where every country is, the surrounding countries and the names of the capital cities. That fascinates me from a learning perspective because he can’t see maps very clearly. We’ve discussed that a high percentage of young people with vision impairment don’t go to university, but he is a fantastic student with a fantastic brain so if that is the path he wants to go down, I want Matthew to have every opportunity to do that. ● SARAH MARINOS

MALVERN EAST \ 9 ORVILLE STREET 6

Cloche hats and two-tone spats would look tres a la mode in Orville Street, which reached its zenith in the 1920s and is still the sweetheart of the Darling Road precinct. But the 2020s are nigh, and this solid-brick Californian – soon to celebrate its century – is just what the contemporary family might order. Renovated in exquisite style, the two-storey property offers three living areas including a family zone that opens to a barbecue terrace above the lawn and glass-fenced pool. There are two main bedroom suites, which will suit a multigeneration household or those with adult children. Floral ceilings and diamond-paned windows uphold the early modern decor above pale oak flooring, lit with the latest crystal chandeliers. It’s a beguiling mixture of vintage and new; even the bathrooms, in grey terrazzo-style porcelain, pay tribute to ’20s style while being absolutely up to date. C’est si chic! The central hall serves two front bedrooms; the main has a fully-tiled twin en suite with a rain shower, followed by a spacious dressing room with marble dressing tables and a full-length mirror. The central living room, with a chunky stone fireplace, is an enticing spot for idling. Next door, the study has an adjacent shower bathroom with a curvy basin. The laundry has external access and good storage. Well capable of a party is the huge family and dining area, where porcelain tiles flow to full-length sliders and out to a terrace with a stainless steel barbecue kitchen. A glass-front gas log fireplace keeps the family zone cosy.

With absolute frontage to one of the most pristine beaches in Australia, and a view of Wilsons Promontory, is all that lies before you. With all the character and charm of a bygone era, “The Boat Shed” epitomises the traditional rustic appeal of a modest, yet comfortable 3-bedroom cottage and an open plan living area with small kitchenette, dining and lounge areas.

Fill your days with swimming, surfing, rock pooling, fishing, a leisurely stroll along the beach or just kick back and read a book. Waratah Bay is one of the best kept secrets of coastal Victoria, protected by parks Victoria and the Cape Liptrap Coastal Reserve, the foreshore is an unspoilt haven, preserved in its natural state, free from extensive development. 10 minutes around the bay you’ll find Sandy Point with its boat launching facilities and a General Store for all your incidental needs. If a more substantial shopping precinct is required the Township of Foster is only 15 minutes away, with supermarkets, medical facilities, and eateries.
