Telos Ensemble
Telos Ensemble is a theatre and film company operating across New York, London, and Stockholm, co-founded by Dan Blick and Mitchell Pope, who met while training in the Meisner technique under Suzanne Esper at the William Esper Studio in New York. Since its first production in 2023, the company has staged seven original works across three countries, developing new writing from the reading room to the stage to the screen.
The company is led by Blick, who serves as Artistic Director and Head of Writing, and Pope, Managing Director and Head of Production, and is joined in Europe by Associate Producers Tora Hallström and Skyler Adams, both Stockholm-based and trained at the William Esper Studio. The company's debut feature film, Black Lake - written and directed by Blick, adapted from his stage play Lake George, and starring Hallström and Pope - is currently making its way through the international festival circuit following the completion of post-production in March 2026.
