Genom en teoretisk studie kombinerad med praktikbaserad empiri ifrån mitt praktiska arbete redogör jag i denna text för rekvisita som aktör och dess roll inom teater. Med de litterära undersökningarna inom naturalism och Tjechov-tradition och de praktiska erfarenheterna av att arbeta med rekvisita försöker jag ta fasta på vad rekvisita är och hur det används och har använts tidigare i Tjechovs pjäser..

AbstractMaterial collected or created through observations, discussions and interviews with a group of students studying theatre in the fist year of upper secondary school formed the base for this paper. The students that took part in the observations showed a variety of motivations for the studies in theatre, but the major aim was to obtain qualifications for further studies at university. Special focus was put on a student with dyslexia attending the course in theatre from the perspective to strengthen general learning abilities. The training and teaching in acting skills as performed in the theatre studio provided the arena for the observations. The aim was to investigate if an interactive process as defined by Lev Vygotskij and the acting method created by Constantin Stanislavski would create social and artistic development among the students in the study.
