Sean Rooney, balloon maestro

Sean Rooney is without a doubt one of the most creative and innovative balloon artists on the planet. A lot of rumors are going around about this Canadian artist; some of them are true some are categorically untrue but one thing is sure:  what Sean can achieve with balloons, few people can.

Sean graduated from the University of Western Ontario with a degree in cultural anthropology and his work reflects a deepening understanding and appreciation for culture. He speaks French, English, is working on his German, and dabbles linguistically wherever his travels take him. In foreign countries, and often in Toronto, too, he learns some important phrases from the show in the native language of his audience; for instance, he can say "The caterpillar becomes a butterfly" in eleven languages.

Career highlights include:

Two Just for Laughs Gala performances, Montreal
Sculptural installations the Royal Ontario Museum, and the Art Gallery of Ontario, in Toronto
The worlds' first balloon fashion show, Utrecht, Netherlands
Performing as a guest of the Canadian embassy in Singapore
Gigs in Hong Kong, Dubai, France, Belgium, Holland, Germany, the United States, Serbia, Macedonia, Spain, Israel, England, Russia
Celine Dions' family Christmas party in Montreal.
