Rocco Sedano

Born to a father who was a dancer and choreographer of Argentine folklore and mother, a classical dancer and pianist, Georges Rocco Sedano has been immersed art his entire life. He studied piano for nine years at the conservatory of Rennes with Pierre Froment (a student of Alfred Cortot's) and Eliane Froment. His father later taught him malambo (Argentinean tap dance), boleadoras (percussive dance instrument), Argentinean percussion and jazz dance techniques, while his mother rounded off this work by teaching him the rudiments of classical dance.
These traditional percussive dances are his specialty and he has honed them thanks to his diligent work on percussion and drums. He has performed at the Théâtre de l'Orme, at the Peña Abierta in Paris, at "un été à Bourges", at the "Tambor y Canto" festival at the Cité de la Musique in Marseille, at the Festival Off in Eymet, at "Jazz à l'ouest", in Rennes and at the Mondragon festival. He has also worked with: Sylvie Thomas (the company "Pies y manos"), the company of Magui and Anibal Pannunzio, the Cirque du Soleil in Valencia and in Switzerland with Luis Lopez, the company "Danse au coeur" in Berlin, at the festival "Color Tango" in Reunion, at the Hanover opera.
