Mini-series "Flesh and bones". Actors - professional dancers

The eight-part mini-series "Flesh and bones" is a dramatic story about the behind-the-scenes life of the ballet, materialized by a creative group of directors and screenwriters commissioned by the Starz television channel.

Elite art

According to the current opinion, ballet is an exclusively elite art, not suitable for a feature film. Therefore, in the history of the film industry, films about ballet can be counted on the fingers. The most popular project covering this topic deservedly is the thriller of Darren Aronofsky about the production of "Swan Lake" - "The Black Swan" with Natalie Portman. The master of the art house managed to revive interest in one of the highest art forms. The telefilm "Flesh and bones" (actors of the first plan: S. Hay, B. Daniels, E. Taira, I. Dvorovenko, D. Herriman), yielding to Aronofsky's offspring, is an original project worthy of attention, as evidenced by its high rating IMDb : 8.10.

Plot

Mini-series "Flesh and bones" (actors and roles for them were selected in agreement with the producers) tells the story of the young prospective heroine Claire, whose past is darkened by a dark secret. The girl, having had a chance to make a career in the New York ballet troupe, comes to a megacity from a remote provincial town. Her bright prospects, hopes and dreams are confronted with a harsh reality - a tough, gloomy drama that turns inside out the outward glamorous, vicious world of modern ballet.

The main advantage

The series "Flesh and bones", whose actors are professional dancers, technically fully meets modern criteria. According to the leading film critics, the main advantage of the television movie is professionally delivered and performed choreography. At the beginning of the production of the picture, the creators faced a serious dilemma: either take professional actors and in a short time teach them to dance, filling in the lack of necessary skills with understudies and editing, or casting among the dancers, choose the most capable of reincarnation. Producers, after consulting, chose the second option. Therefore, in the film, the acting is not at the highest level, but the choreography is chic. Currently, "Flesh and bones," the actors and roles of which are known and loved by fans of the project, acquired an impressive army of fans among a wide audience. The choice of creators was 100% hit.

Characters and actors

"Flesh and bones" - mini-series, which gave the world a lot of bright and memorable characters.

The image of the main character Claire, dreaming to dance on stage soloist, working hard and ignoring fatigue and trauma, was embodied by the actress, the real ballerina Sarah Hay. The girl began to practice ballet from three years old, at an incomplete eight she was enrolled in a special ballet school. According to her, ballet is an ideal activity for real perfectionists.

In Brian, Claire's brother, who recently returned from service, Josh Hellman reincarnated. The actor made his debut in the movie, starring in the episodic role in the TV series "Homes and on the Road" produced in Australia. Audience audience is known for participating in several episodes of the epic "People X". The character Helman in the series "Flesh and bones" actors-colleagues in the filming of the movie called a maniac, so colorful did his actor.

Staging choreographer Paul Daniels is simply gorgeous. An eccentric virtuoso, a lonely workaholic, obsessively pursues the goal of making his troupe the best in the US. By the method of a carrot and a stick, he forces his dancers to work, is extremely demanding, sometimes even cruel. Actor Ben Daniels, without hiding his unconventional orientation, managed to achieve recognition. Known for participation in the paintings: "Beauty", "Madeleine", Doom, "Jack - the conqueror of giants". His filmography also contains a lot of TV series, television films, including "Flesh and bones". Actors - screen mates Ben - noted his vigilant efficiency and talent.

No less important

To first-line heroes should also be attributed to the roommate of the main character dancer Miyu. Miya is a mediocre ballerina who does not have enough stars from the sky, working like everyone in the group, literally to wear, but not achieving significant success due to the multitude of complexes. In this role, Emily Tyra has perfectly suited, the filmography of which contains only two projects - "Underground Empire" and "Flesh and Bones".

The actors of the multi-series television film created a lot of interesting, characteristic images, among which not the last place is occupied by Kira, the prima troupe, who soloists for about 10 years. A woman who sees a rival in a young ballerina was played by Irina Dvorovenko, native of Ukraine, a real prima ballerina of the American Ballet Theater. Irina is known for the roles of Vera Baronova from the concert version of the musical "On the Pointe", prima ballerina of Odessa Kozlova from the series "Eternity".

Strong move

The final three series of the project was filmed by the Tashkent master Alik Sakharov, who is able to turn the plot around so much that his teeth grindle at the strain. It was he who directed the "fight" of the young ballerina with prima, ending with enchanting action on the ballet stage and revealing the secrets of Claire's past. Thanks to his talent, the mystic present in the plot and the seemingly ridiculous mystic in the finale sounded a powerful chord.
