We believe this poem (given to us by Frank Davey) is from 1970-1975. It is very similar to what bpNichol and Steve McCaffery called a "developer" translation or "developer" poem; an example appears in Rational Geomancy (p. 38) of one by Josef Hirsal & Bohumila Grogerova which takes the word "Svoboda" and runs it through 36 lines of permutations and substitutions that convert it to the word "Freedom" by the last line.
Attached are images of the program for the Vivaxis production of bpNichol's musical comedy "Group." The first is the cover, and the second is the interior with notes about the production and the list of songs. Most of the cast were professional actors who were part of the community. Mary Beth Hall was often on the CBC children's show "Mr Dressup," and John Pepper and Maggie Shaw were regulars at the Shaw Festival in Niagara-on-the-Lake.
