STAYING FIT AND HEALTHY IN STRANGE TIMES Here are some suggestions for staying fit and sane through the lockdown. We need to rethink our daily physical activity given that our daily commute and lives have been suddenly disrupted. We all need a minimum amount of activity just to stay healthy, never mind fit. One benefit of fitness centres is being told what to do. Download a fitness app or find a YouTube workout online. Write down your own programme (number of reps, timings) to ensure you don’t give up before fatiguing the muscles. Create a dedicated exercise space in your home or garden to switch to exercise mode. The area of a fitness mat will allow you to do most exercises. Use this event to try an outdoor workout. Don’t be self-conscious. Lots of people exercise outside and are more interested in themselves. Wait till nightfall and head outside? You don’t need equipment to work out. Bodyweight exercises are effective strength training. Increase the intensity with plyometric, eg instead of squatting, do a jumping squat or ‘ski jump’. Use furniture like steps, walls and bars. Make sure they are dry, stable and safe. LIGHTING

fiveways An update on this year’s VE Day anniversary celebrations…

VE DAY 75... Many community celebrations had been planned across the country for the 75th anniversary of VE Day over the bank holiday weekend of 8th to 10th May. Unfortunately, the majority of these have had to be postponed due to the Coronavirus lockdown. However, some solo pipers and town criers may mark the occasion from safe and suitable locations. The VE Day 75 Pageantmaster, Bruno Peek, is hoping that postponed events can be moved to the weekend of 15th to 16th August, when we will be able to celebrate both VE Day and VJ Day. For the latest information, visit: https://www.veday75.org/ Some people will be marking the anniversary with a “Stay at Home Street Party” on Friday 8th May by decorating their houses in red, white and blue and having a picnic in the front garden, whilst still practising safe social distancing.

fiveways A great idea by Brighton artist Denise Harrison to brighten up our daily exerciseâ&#x20AC;Ś

OPEN WINDOWS 2020 Openwindows2020 came about as an idea after the open houses were postponed. I was due to show my work at Phoenix Open Studios where my practice is based. I thought it would be great if artwork could be displayed in windows throughout May instead so that people who were on their usual walk would have that walk brightened up by seeing art. It is also about getting everyone involved in creating art, an inclusive project that gives a creative purpose; we are all at home, so everyone in the household can partake. Phoenix Artspace will also be taking part. As we have a dedicated Instagram page, people can follow @openwindows2020 and tag their work #openwindows2020 to be featured; we also have a Facebook page openwindows2020. This means that even those in isolation can still see the artwork and if you live in a top floor flat, you can still show your work, making the project accessible to all. It has become so popular that open house groups from across the country are joining in; we also have three groups in Australia getting involved as well as France, Spain, Scotland and Hong Kong. This means that it has also become a great networking opportunity.

fiveways A stay-at-home event at 10.30am on Saturday 2nd May…

CHILDREN’S PARADE AT HOME Brighton Festival and Same Sky are inviting every child to take part in the Children’s Parade At Home to celebrate their creativity and imagination.

The annual Children’s Parade was due to take place on Sat 2 May to officially mark the start of Brighton Festival 2020 but the event had to be cancelled when social distancing restrictions were implemented due to the coronavirus outbreak. In partnership with award-winning community arts charity Same Sky, the stay at home event is open to everyone to have five minutes of fun during lockdown at 10.30am on Sat 2 May. Participants are encouraged to post their photos and videos on social media with #ChildrensParadeAtHome to capture the parade as a digital get-together to share online with friends, family, neighbours and across communities. John Varah, Artistic Director, Same Sky added: “Whether you want to conga around your kitchen, wave a flag from your window, blow a whistle from your balcony, shimmy in your sitting room or dress-up on your doorstep – anything goes at the Children’s Parade at Home! We want to celebrate young people’s creativity in all forms and keep the spirit of the Children’s Parade alive.” Same Sky artists have produced free online art resources to inspire parents and carers to make props with children to wear or play with on the day - from masks to musical instruments – the how-to guides will use recycled materials that can be found around the home. Andrew Comben, Chief Executive of Brighton Festival said: “We know how much the Children’s Parade means, not only to the 5,000 children, teachers, par-

ents and volunteers who take part every year but to all the families and visitors who enjoy watching this spectacular community event in the heart of Brighton. As we can’t be together physically, we hope this alternative parade will offer a sense of unity and joy at a time when we all need it the most.” The largest of its kind in Europe, Brighton Festival Children’s Parade has taken place for over 30 years, with more than 10,000 spectators lining the streets of Brighton city centre each year. The Parade is kindly sponsored by Southern Water. Further information is available on Brighton Festival and Same Sky websites (Brightonfestival.org / Samesky.co.uk) and social media. #ChildrensParadeAtHome

fiveways Gary Mepsted’s Lockdown List…

NOVELS TO GET YOU THROUGH LOCKDOWN What follows might be dubbed my Lockdown List, novels to get you through the current period of self-incarceration. I’ve taken a handful of classic Victorian authors and chosen one ‘chewy’ novel from each. I’ve avoided the most obvious titles and gone for those you might be less familiar with.

Let’s start with Dickens, where my choice would be Our Mutual Friend. Dickens’ last completed novel is a satirical tour de force packed with his trademark penetrating social analysis. Yes, the plot’s a bit of a head-wrecker, and is not that beautifully constructed, but this epic tale of murder and blackmail will, if you pay sufficient attention to what’s going on, grip and enthral you. The mise-en-scène is handled with the usual Dickens genius. Wilkie Collins, a very good friend of Mr Dickens, is next. I’ve chosen Man and Wife, the novel he published immediately after The Moonstone. The novel explores the subordinate position of women in the 18th century, along with the institution of marriage and the effects of divorce. Collins’ passion for his subject matter is infectious, and the story, by turns funny and tragic, zips along - if one considers the habitually lugubrious pace of the Victorian novel. Henry James is my third choice. Yes, I know he’s not a Victorian novelist, but I wanted to include him. This was a tricky one. James is an author who it’s easy to admire but hard to warm to, at least that’s my feeling about him. I’ve gone for The Other House, which is something of an aberration in the James canon, and is the reason I rather like it. Critically mauled on its publication in 1896, this Ibsenesque story of child murder, by a woman no less, was, and is still, seen as unrepresentative of the author’s work. Its perceived problems with credibility and character motivation have never bothered me, and they might not bother you either.

Now for my Hardy pick. I’ve gone for The Well-Beloved. The story was revised and republished in novel form in 1897, which could, or could not, make it Hardy’s last novel, and shows him at his most endearingly eccentric. The novel chronicles sculptor Jocelyn Pierston’s search for the perfect woman, as exemplified by three generations of the same family at twenty-year intervals: Avice Caro, her daughter Ann Avice, and then her daughter, Avice. The novel is rich in psychological complexity and perhaps hints at a path Hardy might have taken had he continued as a novelist rather than a poet. The Well-Beloved is charming, fanciful and utterly lovely, whatever the critics might say. Yes, John Fowles, I’m looking at you! Gary Mepsted

fiveways Rachel Bridgeman looks back at VE Day in Brighton in May 1945…

“MY DEAR FRIENDS, THIS IS YOUR HOUR”

(Winston Churchill, 8 May 1945)

On 8th May 1945, Prime Minister Winston Churchill announced that Germany had surrendered. After six years of horror and bloodshed, the Second World War in Europe was over.

Due to Covid 19, we are likely to be celebrating the peace and paying tribute to those who defeated fascism whilst isolated in our homes rather than rejoicing collectively as the people of our city did 75 years ago. Sallie will now be unable to share her memories with her community at St Leonard’s Church in West Hove as planned. These are her memories. Across Brighton and Hove, people flooded into the streets to share in the collective euphoria. “We Brits went a bit mad for a day or two.” Thirteen-year-old Sallie and her friend, Mary, walked into Brighton and joined in the jubilation at the Clock Tower. “People were drunk with happiness. Men and women were hugging and kissing each other. Glad to be alive. No more air raids. No more rocket attacks. Mary and I were swept away in a Conga line which took us down West Street. We walked home through the crowds along the seafront, past the smoking remains of a deck-chair bonfire (made by some high-spirited South African troops) and around which crowds had a grand sing-song – a bit like a scout camp. Back at home, we celebrated with Spam fritters and toasted each other with tea. I remember going to bed that night with the curtains drawn back. No black-out 14 fiveways directory May 2020

needed now. I was happy knowing that there would be no more air-raids. No nasty Nazi bombers.” Although VE Day marked victory in Europe, it did not mark the end of the war. That would not come until 15th August 1945 with the surrender of Japan. Today, Sallie reflects: “We had yet to discover how devastated the countries in Europe were and how many thousands of people were dead in horror camps. We knew nothing of the horrors that were to come and the use of the atomic bomb in Hiroshima and Nagasaki.” When we can once more freely and safely roam the streets of our fabulous city, why not learn more about their fascinating history? Hove Actually Walking Tours are fun, informative and best suited to the incurably curious. Whether it’s your first visit or you have lived here your whole life, the tours are a great way to discover, uncover and experience the area. And the natives in Hove are very friendly!
