Flesh and Bone: New Starz TV Show Announced

by Trevor Kimball, January 27, 2014

Starz has picked up Flesh and Bone, a new drama, that will follow a young female ballet dancer as she joins a prestigious dance company in the Big Apple.

Here are some more details:

STARZ On Pointe Expands Original Programming Slate; Network Greenlights New Original Ballet Drama Series ‘Flesh And Bone’ From Emmy® Award-Winning Writer Moira Walley-Beckett

EXECUTIVE PRODUCED BY LAWRENCE BENDER, KEVIN BROWN AND JOHN MELFI SARAH HAY DANCES INTO LEAD ROLE

BEVERLY HILLS, Calif., Jan. 27, 2014 — STARZ announced today the greenlight of its next original drama series, “Flesh and Bone,” created by Emmy award-winning “Breaking Bad” Writer and Executive Producer, Moira Walley-Beckett. “Flesh and Bone” follows a young ballet dancer, Claire, who has a distinctly troubled past, as she joins a prestigious ballet company in New York. The dark and gritty series will unflinchingly explore the dysfunction and glamour of the ballet world.

Acclaimed dancer Sarah Hay (Black Swan) has been cast in the lead role, joining an already stellar cast of world-renowned dancers, including former American Ballet Theatre principal dancer Irina Dvorovenko and current soloist Sascha Radetsky, along with Royal New Zealand Ballet artistic director and former American Ballet Theatre principal dancer Ethan Stiefel attached as choreographer.

“From the beginning, we all agreed this project could not go forward unless we found a world class dancer who had the ability to convey the widest range of emotions that Moira has written,” says Chris Albrecht, CEO of Starz. “This is one of the most challenging and dynamic characters I have even seen and am thrilled to say we found our ‘Claire’ in Ms. Hay.”

Moira Walley-Beckett stated, “Finding the perfect ‘Claire’ has been an almost impossible task. It was truly like looking for a unicorn because the demands of the role are so specific and challenging. I was looking for a beautiful and transcendent ballerina who is not only a brilliant dancer but also a gifted actress, and who also possesses a fierce curiosity and enthusiasm about the brave demands of the work. Sarah Hay embodies the role of ‘Claire’ just as I dreamt her. I’m very, very excited. Chris Albrecht and the team at Starz have been incredibly supportive of ‘Flesh and Bone’ since its inception. I can’t wait to start filming! NYC here we come!”

Hay will portray young ballerina Claire, a beautiful, soulful and deeply emotionally wounded young woman who possesses an innate innocence and fragility while at the same time harboring self-destructive tendencies and a vaulting ambition. She is a transcendent ballerina, capable of reaching the sublime, but her inner torment and aspirations drive her in compelling, unforeseeable ways.

The project will be written by Moira Walley-Beckett and executive produced by Ms. Walley-Beckett and Starz, with Executive Producers Lawrence Bender (Oscar® nominated for Inglourious Basterds, Pulp Fiction and Good Will Hunting), Kevin Brown (“Roswell”) and John Melfi (“Sex and the City,” “House of Cards,” “Nurse Jackie,” “Rome”). Bender, Brown and Walley-Beckett all have connections to the world of ballet, which brought them together with Starz on this project. Bender and Walley-Beckett are former ballet dancers, and Brown’s family is made up entirely of former ballet dancers, and their story was the basis for the Oscar-nominated film, The Turning Point.

Casting of “Flesh and Bone” by Telsey + Company.

Production is scheduled to begin in New York City in early 2014. “Flesh and Bone” is expected to debut on STARZ on 2015

Starz will retain all domestic and international multiplatform rights including television, home entertainment, and digital.

I dance and study ballet, and if the show is about irrelevant garbage like self-abuse, drug abuse, nudity or teenage sex, I will never watch it…nor will my ballet dancing friends.

I am against this show because they support teenage and young adult full frontal nudity. To have a script that exploits ballet dancers by focusing on immoral sex and drug abuse is aggresively tainting an art form that is so pure, so untainted by Mainstream Society’s obsession with sex, drug’s, and violence. Majority of American’s do not understand the ballet world and I believe this TV show series will be painting the wrong picture. It is a cheap shot to making money. The affiliated dancers in the show were capitivated by such a rare opportunity to being on television (and… Read more »
