Myositis refers to a group of rare, incurable and

Myositis refers to a group of rare, incurable and progressive conditions that sees the body’s immune system turn against itself, destroying healthy muscle in the process.

According to the Myositis Association Australia (MAA), inclusion body myositis is the most common form of myositis, but there is also dermatomyositis, polymyositis, necrotizing myositis, antisynthetase syndrome and juvenile forms of myositis.

It is unknown what causes myositis, however the conditions are classified as autoimmune diseases because the person’s immune system is attacking their own tissue.

An extremely rare condition, it affects an estimated one in 100,000 Australians, including Val Dempsey, of Narrabundah, now Rivett, who has been living with myositis for more than two decades.

The 2022 Senior Australian of the Year, Dame of St John’s, former nurse and volunteer with St John’s Ambulance, Val hasn’t let myositis get in the way, but says it’s high time more people learnt about the condition.

By sheer coincidence, I reviewed the first product

By sheer coincidence, I reviewed the first production by Tempo Theatre for ABC radio’s 2CY in 1974 and it’s hard to believe that the venerable company is celebrating its 50th birthday this year., writes HELEN MUSA.

The birthday show will be a slap-up production of Mother and Son in a new and updated stage version written by Geoffrey Atherden and directed by long-time Tempo member Michael Weston.
In 1974 I remember having fun critiquing what was considered an edgy choice, the musical Bye-Bye Birdie.

I caught up with Tempo founder Joyce Macfarlane recently by phone, who told me how she and her staunch allies, musical director Rose Ianno and Charles Oliver, worked hard to form a society specifically to perform musicals that were “modern”.
