Day 5 of rehearsals for ‘Everybody Look At Me’.

Things are going well in the rehearsal room, with ALL cast still smiling, and director taking the process all in his stride. Most lines are more than learnt now and the cast are able to more expressive with their acting. Props are minimal at this stage and there is only a wicker basket in the acting space that appears to be used as a chair (im informed this is an acting cheslonge). At this stage the actors are light hearted and have boundless amounts of energy.

I snatched a moment with conscientious director and asked him for his quote of the day, his answer was as follows…

‘Noticing small changes early helps you adapt to the bigger changes that are yet to come’

The quote is originally by Dr Spencer johnson, he is clearly a god in the eyes of mr Daly.

‘What would Johnson say?’

Things are getting exciting in the Fifth Word camp as rehearsals get under way.  Day 2 of rehearsals went well, with both director and cast excited about the forth coming project.

Director Darren Daly will be giving us his quote of the day, during rehearsals, so look out for that folks. His quote appears to be rather cryptic, so i decided to find out who Johnson was. Good old Wikipedia informed me of the following…

Spencer Johnson is known for his 1998 motivational book, titled Who Moved My Cheese?: An Amazing Way to Deal with Change in Your Work and in Your Life. It has stayed on the New York Times Bestseller list, and has remained on the Publishers Weekly Hardcover nonfiction list. Johnson is Chairman of Spencer Johnson Partners.

Johnson also wrote the book “Yes” or “No”: The Guide to Better Decisions (1992), which has been translated into a number of languages including Spanish, Korean and German . He co-authored the One Minute Manager series of books with management writer Ken Blanchard, tho each author has added their own books to the series. His latest book is Peaks And Valleys.

Johnson’s books have been translated into twenty-six languages.

Hmmmmmmmm very interesting it appears Darren Daly is a big fan of Dr Johnson.
