The dancer aged 106 who bans the word 'old'

 At 106, Eileen Kramer seems more productive than ever.

After decades living abroad, Ms Kramer returned to her home city of Sydney aged 99. Since then, she's collaborated with artists to create several videos that showcase her primary talent and lifelong passion: dancing.

Ms Kramer still dances - graceful, dramatic movements mostly using the top half of her body. In more recent years, she has also choreographed.

"Since returning to Sydney I've been so busy - I've performed three big dance pieces at NIDA [the National Institute for Dramatic Art] and independent theatres.

Her response is that she banishes the words "old" and "age" from her vocabulary.

"I say: I'm not old, I've just been here a long time and learnt a few things along the way.

"I don't feel how people say you should feel when you're old. My attitude to creating things is identical to when I was a child."
