Take 5 with Zan Rowe on ABC and ABC iview S3E3 – For more than 30 years Claudia Karvan has captivated audiences, breathing life into some of the most intriguing characters and compelling stories to grace our screens.
From The Heartbreak Kid and The Secret Life of Us to Love My Way and Bump, her brilliant performances and signature down to earth nature have earned her a global following.
Join Claudia and Zan for a beautiful, optimistic episode centring on songs of hope. Claudia’s gift for storytelling is on full display as her song choices come joyously alive on screen.
Set against the backdrop of her parent’s Kings Cross nightclub, Claudia’s unconventional childhood featured a school-free year in Bali. These formative years were shaped by a unique and dynamic culture, a cast of colourful characters and a single cassette that never left the tape deck.
You can’t help but shimmy your shoulders as Claudia and Zan salsa dance to a Cuban classic as Claudia explains she never wants to stop delighting in play.
“I’m just going to keep doing that for the rest of my life. I don’t want to get to a point where I’m not making a fool of myself.”
Brimming with hope and resilience, Claudia fires straight for the heart when she chooses her favourite artist.
“There’s a lot of different heartbreaks, but when you do survive them, you feel really strong.”
We’re at home with Claudia’s conversational humour, generous warmth and celebrated pragmatism.
“Am I successful at life? Depends how long I can stay in my pyjamas and how late I get to leave my house.”
