Mario Coccetti

Mario Coccetti, graduated from the Osvaldo Licini Art Institute and continued his studies at Dams in Bologna. His training passes through jazz dance, Lyrical, modern, tap, ballet and Bob Fosse Style but also through physical theater, prose, painting, writing and singing. He continues his training by working with well-known choreographers and perfecting his skills at Step on Broadway in New York. He works and collaborates with big names in show business and musicals such as Gian Marco Tognazzi, Alessandro Gassman, Heron Borelli, and Gabriele Foschi. He is the author for Rai 3 of the children’s program “The Brothers Grimm” and his first direction dates back to 2001: “Honey Pie” the first “a cappella” Jazz musical. For the staging of “One Hundred Things” he won a selection at the 2006 – 2007 Premio Scenario, received a special mention at Calatiafestival and won first prize in the “La Quarta Onda” competition as best play. He works with important directors such as Graham Vich, Luigi Squarzina, Robert Carson, Saverio Marconi, Manetti Brothers and continues his training (and collaboration) with actors and directors of ITC teatro – Compagnia del Teatro dell’argine.
In 2016 he founded the S Dance Company, which investigates with its artistic activity, the field of identity in a globalized society, combining the language of contemporary dance with that coming from the different backgrounds of individual performers. From this reflection was born the trilogy composed of Border, SIN and Orpheus and Eurydice/Melancholia – first study. The company is hosted at national and international festivals.
