‘Flesh and Bone’ takes viewers on a tour of the seedy underbelly of the fiercely competitive world of ballet. Figgins bares almost all as a stripper with sage advice. Her characters name is the “Yasmine” and Figgins show us a completely different side of her talent as she bares all for that almighty dollar dollar bill ya’ll.

Figgins is working hard to continuously establish herself as triple threat with notable accomplishments in dance, singing and acting. And while she stays busy on stage and in front of camera, she also makes time to remember the less fortunate through her work as co-founder of Broadway Serves, a service organization comprised of members of the Broadway community who are looking to “be the change we want to see in the world.” Figgins is a powerhouse who cares and we just can’t get enough!

Check Dionne Figgins out on ‘Flesh and Bones’ a STARZ original. All episodes are currently available now On Demand and STARZ play. Let us know what you think!

In March 2012, during the Million Hoodie March in New York’s Union Square, members of the theatre world came together for a rally in response to the death of Trayvon Martin.  At the event, co-founders Dana Marie Ingraham, Dionne Figgins, and Kimberly Marable realized there wasn’t an organized group the need for such an organization, and shortly after, Broadway Serves was born.

The first project the group embarked was participating in the 2012 New York City AIDS Walk, followed by joining with BookPALS and the Children’s Museum of Manhattan’s program for Homes for the Homeless, and City Harvest’s Mobile Market produce distribution  events.  Later that same year, the BROADWAY SERVES “To Go” Program began, which allows national touring companies and regional theaters across the country to serve the community wherever they are.

In only a year, Broadway Serves helped areas all over the globe, including Canada, St. Maarten, and Uganda, and they inspired London’s WEST END SERVES, which also seeks to be the “change beyond the stage.”

On August 14 from 9:45am-4pm, Broadway Serves will stage manage 4th & 5th grade students from the Children’s Aid Society Summer Theater Intensive, as they perform original plays about health and nutrition in the community.  In addition, on  August 17 from 7pm to 7am, the group will raise funds and sleep outside in solidarity with the homeless youth of Covenant House NYC at the 3rd annual Broadway Sleep Out (eligible participants must be 23 or older, and have worked professionally either on Broadway, off-Broadway, or in a Broadway touring production; visit www.broadwaysleepout.org to RSVP).
