Subject: Old Perform Logs
I'm trying to pull together all the logs of PERFORM correspondance,
but I seem to have lost some of what happened from the time PERFORM
began in May 1992 until we started the monthly logs in December 1992. If
anyone has saved anything from this period, could you please forward
it to me at Jesse_Hurlbut@byu.edu.
thanks in advance. Soon, the logs will be available via WWW.

Subject: Monthly logs now on the web
I have just made the monthly logs of PERFORM correspondance available
via the WWW. The logs have always been available in the listserv
archives, but now web access makes it easier to retrieve them and to
search through them using the "find text" feature found on most web
browsers. Eventually, I'll install a search facility so you can type
in a key word and automatically search the entire collection of
logs--but I need to learn some new code first. Meanwhile, check out
the Web presence of PERFORM at:
http://acs1.byu.edu/~hurlbutj/perform.html
I was a little surprised how much we've had to say over the years
(about 1.5 Mb since May 1992).
I could use some help with the web pages and will eagerly accept
submissions in the following categories:
1. Course syllabi: if you have taught a course on medieval or
renaissance drama, show us what you've done. (I have a few that some
of you sent me some time ago, and they'll be on the web soon).
2. Unpublished Conference Papers: If you've got papers that you'd
like to share, I'll put them on the web for you.
3. PERFORM logo: now that PERFORM has a graphical presence, we could
use a good logo to put on the web page. If I get enough submissions,
I'll turn the decision over to PERFORMers to pick the winning logo.
Send me a graphic file (tif, gif, bmp, psd, jpg, or just about any other
format) and we'll take it from there.
4. SUGGESTIONS? The web is a fairly permanent home for
anything we want to put there. What else would be useful?
(I'll anticipate one request by announcing that there will soon be an
MRDS page--more on that soon enough).
Send comments, questions or suggestions to:

Subject: RORD Census of Medieval Drama Productions
Can you tell me what the deadline is for submitting brief reviews of a
recent production of medieval drama for the 1996 RORD? We had a wonderful
production of *Man's Desire and Fleeting Beauty* this past summer at Le
Moyne College (Syracuse NY). It was also performed up in Toronto over the
summer, but the Le Moyne production differed somewhat. How soon would you
need to have my review of it?

Dear administrator,
I just subscribed to your discussion list. I received acknowledgement
of my subscription, but this message with guidelines how to use it
was distorted and unreadable.
Could you send me a new message. Does your list have an archive of
previous contributions which can be consulted?
Thanks in advance.

Subj: Message for MEDTEXT (as promised)
CANTUS is a database made up of indices of the Gregorian chants in manuscript
and early printed sources of the Divine Office. It is of interest to music
historians, historians of liturgy, and medievalists in a wide range of fields.
The URL address is gopher://vmsgopher.cua.edu/11gopher_root_music:[_cantus]
CANTUS files may also be accessed through the Catholic University of America
WWW Home Page, for which the address is http://www.cua.edu
(Look for CANTUS under the heading "Research and Centers.")
At present the database includes indices of the chants in 22 manuscripts and
one 16th-century printed antiphoner. It is searchable: a single command
enables the user to learn whether a particular chant appears in one or more of
the sources that have been indexed. If it does, the report will identify the
sources in question and tell exactly where in each of them the chant appears.
In addition, individual files can be downloaded and incorporated into database
file structures for analysis on the user's own personal computer. If you wish
to learn about plans for additional indices, or to receive regular updates
concerning the project, you may subscribe to the CANTUS Newsletter. To do so,
please send your full name and complete snail mail address to

I just received a note from Lynette Muir in Leeds, England, who asked me
to place a call for papers on PERFORM. On June 16-21, 1996, in Tel
Aviv, Israel, there will be an international conference on "Theatre and
Holy Scriptures: Ritual and Mythological Dimensions of the Theatre".
The conference will deal with theatre from all historical periods, but
clearly medieval theatre is a "natural" for the announced topic. Papers
of about 20 minutes in length are solicited on numerous sub-topics,
among which are: Sacrificial patterns in the theatre; Liturgical rites
and theatre; The divine on stage; The scriptures as theatrical text and
pre-text; and Religious theatre and the audience.
Abstracts may be submitted either to the general conference or to one
of the already established sessions. To submit abstracts or to request
further information about the conference, please write to:

* Teaching Early Drama with Modern Technology: the Message and the Media *
**************************************************************************
We would like to invite you to join an on-line discussion on teaching early
drama with modern technology. We encourage those who are interested in:
1. The teaching of early English drama
2. The use of instructional technology in the teaching of drama
3. The evaluation of instructional technology
4. Multimedia in education
This on-line discussion will take place in conjunction with a session on
December 29 at this year's MLA conference that is sponsored by MRDS
(Medieval and Renaissance Drama Society). The on-line discussion is for
both those planning to attend the session and those not planning to. We are
interested in short position papers and thoughtful responses on the
topics above. If the discussion proves interesting a digest will be
published in the REED (Records of Early English Drama) Newsletter.
**************************************************************************
If you are not already a member of REED-L, you can join by sending a
message to Abigail Young at reed@epas.utoronto.ca.
