TheoArtistry: Developing Creative Research Methodologies in Theology and the Arts
In the interface between theology and the arts, creative research methodologies provide a fitting approach for theological and arts-based inquiry.

This article presents creative research methodologies developed for and through TheoArtistry, an initiative which seeks to bring together theology and the arts through collaborations between artists and researchers. An analysis of the TheoArtistry Student-Led Partnerships project in particular will reveal how the development of creative research methods may occur on two levels: the project’s overall framework or methodology (that is, the framework that defines the scope, goals, and activities of the research) and the individual methodologies developed by participants as they work within and respond to that framework. Building on this observation, and incorporating insights from the TheoArtistry creative research partnerships thus far, the article considers three methodological factors that have implications for the work undertaken within artist–researcher collaborations: participant roles; research scope; and the tension between process and product in collaborative research. À l’interface entre la théologie et les arts, les méthodologies de recherche créatives offrent une approche pertinente pour l’enquête théologique et artistique. Cet article présente des méthodologies de recherche créatives élaborées pour et à travers TheoArtistry, une initiative qui vise à rapprocher théologie et arts au moyen de collaborations entre artistes et chercheur·es. Une analyse du projet TheoArtistry Student-Led Partnerships en particulier montrera comment le développement de méthodes de recherche créatives peut se produire à deux niveaux : le cadre ou la méthodologie globale du projet (c’est-à-dire le cadre qui définit l’étendue, les objectifs et les activités de la recherche) et les méthodologies individuelles développées par les participant·es à mesure qu’ils et elles travaillent dans ce cadre et y répondent. Partant de cette observation, et en intégrant les enseignements tirés des partenariats de recherche créative de TheoArtistry jusqu’à présent, l’article examine ensuite trois facteurs méthodologiques qui ont des implications pour le travail mené au sein des collaborations artistes-chercheur·es : les rôles des participant·es ; le périmètre de la recherche ; et la tension entre processus et produit dans la recherche collaborative. urn:doi:10.4000/16ovc |

In the interface between theology and the arts, creative research methodologies provide a fitting approach for theological and arts-based inquiry. This article presents creative research methodologies developed for and through TheoArtistry, an initiative which seeks to bring together theology and the arts through collaborations between artists and researchers. An analysis of the TheoArtistry Student-Led Partnerships project in particular will reveal how the development of creative research methods may occur on two levels: the project’s overall framework or methodology (that is, the framework that defines the scope, goals, and activities of the research) and the individual methodologies developed by participants as they work within and respond to that framework. Building on this observation, and incorporating insights from the TheoArtistry creative research partnerships thus far, the article considers three methodological factors that have implications for the work undertaken within artist–researcher collaborations: participant roles; research scope; and the tension between process and product in collaborative research. |
