I started to write about the Bible as Theatre in the mid 1970s.
In 1996 it was Tel Aviv University's turn to host the yearly International Federation (of) Theatre Research conference. I proposed the title Theatre and Holy Script, and later edited the book by the same name (sussex Academic Press 1999), a number of studies in the field. However, and to me not less important, A Bible and Theatre Desert workshop.

In my thesis I set out to investigate what characterized performances of the Gospel of John in its early environment, as well as how the performances affected the listeners’ understanding of the Gospel. My primary approach is to employ performance criticism and narrative criticism in analyzing performance aspects of the Gospel text. Greek and Roman rhetorical treatises, as well as other texts commenting on or describing ancient performances, are important sources in mapping the conventions and expectancies of contemporary delivery.

I came to performance criticism by way of Scripture memorization. After combining visual mnemonics like the loci technique with the more contemporary review technique of spaced repetition, I discovered a whole new (old) kind of mnemonic -- orality! I'm fascinated by the current rediscovery of the orality of scripture, and without Marcel Jousse's "recititave" style of trying to find the old poetic, verse style of the Gospels, I doubt my memorization could have gotten very far. As it is, I've memorized the Gospel of Mark, and can identify any verse by its chapter and number. I'm excited to learn more from other memorizers, and the addititional insights from those who perform.

Recently, Dr. Rhoads presented a workshop on preaching the Gospel of Mark Monday, Nov. 10 at the McCormick Seminary's first annual Brawley Lectures. He focused on the experience of the Gospel as an aural event; talking about the power of the Scripture performed, leading participants in some memorization and performance of the gospel themselves and even treating the audience to his own performance of the first 15 minutes of the gospel.

60s/70s art school background. exposure to performance art. exposure to other cultures. Recent Grad degree from Fuller. Interest in artists/artisans as unacknowledged and under resourced theologians for a 21st Century facing three major shifts
a: back to a secondary oral/visual culture
b:large scale attrition from the `Christendom' print model (or print logic) approach to Christian description.
C: Growth of the majority world church. most of the Christians, artists, theologians and bible interpreters now live somewhere else....many (but not stereotypically so) in parts of the world (albeit urbanized, often..)where `oral/scribal' distinctions, art/life distinctions (etc) are configured differently than we might remember them.....

Dr. Julian Sundersingh's training and work experience, over the past three decades, have been in the field of Christian communication using media. His Ph.D. dissertation (1999) was in the area of communicating biblical Scriptures to non-literates in appropriate media formats. He developed a conceptual framework in this study taking into account the available knowledge on orality and spoken language.
He is presently helping the Bible Societies in the Asia Pacific Area develop appropriate Scripture materials in audio and video formats. He is the coordinator for a Literacy Symposium to be held in April 2009 for the benefit of several Bible Societies on a global level.
He also teaches research and helps the Bible Societies with their research projects.
