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

This dissertation analyzes pedagogies of classical South Indian dance in the United States, to determine the ways that pedagogical practices create and inform theology, social organization, and religious and cultural identity for participating dance communities. The primary theoretical framework guiding the research of this dissertation comes from practical theology -- namely, the study of religious practices as living, prescriptive negotiations of communal value. The dissertation features ethnographic research at three field sites: the Natyanjali School of Dance (a suburban, primarily South Indian community in Andover, MA), the Fine Arts Society Natya-Adhyayana-Gurukulam (a residential summer camp in rural Virginia focused on Bharata Natyam, a classical South Indian genre of dance), and the Triveni School of Dance (an urban, ethnically diverse community of dancers in Boston). Through performance analysis and the study of dancers' narratives, I explore how embodied practice, discursive exchange, social organization, performance, and imagination combine to form frameworks of religious and ethical knowledge in these communities. I conclude that through teaching and learning dance, communities of dancers negotiate a practical theology---social values and hierarchy, ethics, and religious identity---particular to the American Hindu diaspora. Dance, in this context, creates a matrix of social and ethical principles informed by bodily practice, experience, and imagination, as well as traditional sources of Hindu religious authority such as religious narrative, ritual, sacred image, and canonical scripture.
