Telos Ensemble
Telos - derived from the Greek τÎλος meaning ‘purpose’, ‘end’ or ‘goal’
Dan Blick and I met while studying with Suzanne Esper at the acclaimed William Esper Studio in New York City. The idea of an ensemble formed as we worked together on various projects while attending the Esper Studio. After graduating from the William Esper Studio's 2 Year Full Time program, Dan and I founded the TELOS Ensemble named after the first production we independently produced.
​
The TELOS Ensemble is dedicated to the creation and performance of original works of emerging playwrights. Our purpose is to give voice to the stories and experiences of these artists. We are also dedicated to showcase the emerging performers who bring these stories to the stage. The Ensemble often highlights graduates of the William Esper Studio and other performers who are trained in the Meisner Technique.
Our first performance, in September 2023, was a production of an original play by Dan - 'Telos' at the Chain Theatre in NYC to 3 sold out nights. We produced a second run in May and June 2024 of 10 sold out nights.
​
We introduced a reading series, Purgatory, in December 2024 and are currently presenting works under development on a bi-monthly schedule. You can see more here.
​
The Telos Ensemble's third production was a new original work 'Lake George' performed November 6th - 17th, 2024 at the Chain Theatre in New York City. Requested to return, we the prouction was reprised March 5th-16th, 2025.
