Thesis (Ph.D.)--Emory University, 2010.

Setting forth a practical theology of play through art, this dissertation investigates the question "How does artistic play allow people to seek the God of the Unexpected?" Artistic play is a term I use to place in conversation two partners (art and play) whose intersection has not been explored well, especially within practical theology and adult religious education. I define artistic play as the practice of exploration through art forms in which one opens oneself to unexpected transcendence, delight, or discovery.

520 $a Setting forth a practical theology of play through art, this dissertation investigates the question "How does artistic play allow people to seek the God of the Unexpected?" Artistic play is a term I use to place in conversation two partners (art and play) whose intersection has not been explored well, especially within practical theology and adult religious education. I define artistic play as the practice of exploration through art forms in which one opens oneself to unexpected transcendence, delight, or discovery.
520 $a In this intersection of art and play, I examine issues of body, imagination, teaching, and learning for adults in two case studies involving three types of artistic play (liturgical art, aesthetic pruning in a Japanese garden, and improvisational performance art). The cases shed light on artistic play as a lived practice that allows members of the community to indirectly seek and gain spiritual knowledge in ways that tend to be overlooked, namely through stories, imagination, creativity, and the senses. In the first case study, I discuss a Japanese American congregation in Sacramento, California (Sacramento Japanese United Methodist Church) that is discovering connections between faith and culture through play, Japanese artifacts, and aesthetics. Through artistic play, the congregation is reflecting on what it means to be Japanese American Christian. In the second case, I explore how participants of InterPlay, a movement based in Oakland, California, are creating selves by engaging in improvisational theater, movement, and vocal music. Performance theory and object relations theory, especially the work of D.W. Winnicott, serve as analytic lenses.
520 $a While theological aesthetics has traditionally addressed art, perception, and revelation in the abstract, it has rarely explored how art contributes to practical theological construction in situ. This dissertation offers insight about local practical theological aesthetics and their implications for religious education.
