The chamber is a place actors can come to play freely. We get to use tools we've learnt from outside or there on the day without fear of being judged. In a world where actors are expected to achieve other peoples vision, this place helps us achieve our own.

You come out better than when you went in even if it's by 1%

Since starting classes with Razak at The Chamber in January, my craft, and my connection to it, has evolved and deepened in ways I could only have hoped for. Razak brings a rare combination of respect, patience, humility, and a deep presence to his guidance and his teaching. He creates a space that feels both grounded and electric, while also full of spontaneity: a place where you are invited to push past your limitations and truly explore what’s possible as an actor when focusing on the various Meisner techniques and scene work. His passion for the work is infectious, and his commitment to each individual student shines in every session. I have immense respect and admiration for Razak, both as an artist and as a teacher, and I feel grateful to be part of what he’s building with The Chamber as it’s a truly special environment that nurtures understanding, confidence and craft in equal measure.

The Chamber is a place where iron sharpens iron. Everyone is the room is so generous, caring deeply about the craft & each other. It's so encouraging to be in a space where you know you can grow.

I’ve been to several workshops with The Chamber, and always found them challenging and exciting. Razak is very good at introducing his deep understanding of Meisner to novices like myself, but he never gets caught up in the weeds or doctrinaire about it if another approach would be more helpful.

The scene work at The Chamber is always of a high standard- the material is rich, the atmosphere both encouraging and daring, and I’ve always found that Razak and the other attendees have a great wealth of knowledge and experience that enhances my own efforts.
