Perhaps this file in the FOOD section of the Florilegium might be of
use:
finger-foods-msg  (21K)  6/ 7/01    Ideas for finger foods at feasts and
events.

And there is this one in the FEASTS section:
finger-fd-fst-art (13K)  9/15/98    A light supper feast using finger
foods.

And maybe these in the PERFORMANCE ARTS section:
Mask-Making-art   (16K) 12/26/00    "Mask Making 101 - A History of
Masks and
                          Instructions..." by Lady Meliora Leuedai de
Ardescote
masks-msg         (60K)  2/21/01    Theatrical masks. Period and modern.
masque-msg         (5K)  2/21/01    A dramatic art of poetry, music and
dance.

There is a bit of info in the DANCE section on period dances, and as
soon as
I find the time, I have three very good articles that were class notes
at
the recent Pennsic which will be added to this section.
