Abstract

The thesis for this project is that performance methods in acting can enhance the ability of the preacher to communicate on a deeper spiritual level. This project combines the methods of acting that have built on the foundation laid by Constatine Stanislavsky in the early 20th century, and the basic research methods currently taught in seminary education. This project will show how these areas of study overlap with one another. At the same time, performative preparation methods can inform sermon preparation methods to help preachers create sermons that are more inspirational and truthful in their communication. A study of the literature ad resources published by acting teachers and performing preaching professors are in conversation with one another throughout this project. From this conversation a syllabus and workshops can be found in the Appendix to provide a variety of ways to share and apply the results of this project in academic and continuing education forums for students and pastors. Homiletics professor and perfomative method advocate Richard Ward was interviewed. The results of his interview were used to compare his teaching methods and experience with mine.
