Abstract

The sin of envy reflects a desire to be other than who one is, to have another's personal attributes, to live another's life. What does this sin mean in the context of performance, an activity that so often encourages its participants to take on others’ qualities and characteristics? The role of envy in the author's development as a performer is explored. Weaving performance, psychoanalytical, and theological theories through the subjective experience of theatre and performance training, Tuder uncovers the central role envy plays in the foundation and formation of a performer.
