Thinking like the Ocean. Stratifications

"Stratifications" is the first event in the "Thinking Like the Ocean" series, part of the educational program Ocean Families.

The Ocean is the origin of life in all its myriad forms, but do we truly perceive it through all our senses? What sounds emerge from beneath the waves? How do the currents cradle us? What sensations do the waves evoke? And what if we, too, transformed into masses of water? We would play with the sand on the beaches, create ripples among the waves, gather in the crevices of the deep seabed, and dance with the sounds as they propagate.

The underwater world has always fascinated humankind. Children aged 3 to 12 will be guided by Marina Donatone and Deborah Camozzi in a creative movement workshop exploring the diverse environments of the Ocean—from the sediments of the seabed to the depths of the water, all the way to the surface's edges.

• 11am – 12pm | first session in the series of workshops for children and families, led by Marina Donatone, young performer and choreographer (6–12 years)
• 3:30 – 4:30pm | first session in the series of workshops for children and families, led by Debora Camozzi, young performer (3–5 years)

All activities are free of charge with mandatory reservation and limited availability.

Marina Donatone (Rome, 1993) is a choreographer and dancer. In her work, she seeks a body in becoming—one that engages with the choreographic system as active matter, both shaping and being shaped by the relationships it enters, while carrying its own irreducible composition. Her work has been supported by institutions such as Mattatoio di Roma, Lavanderia a Vapore, Santarcangelo Festival, Teatro India - Teatro di Roma, Short Theatre, Sín Arts Culture Centre in Budapest, Operaestate, and C.U.R.A. Centro Residenze Umbre.

Deborah Camozzi (Ravenna, 1995) collaborates with Rugby Tots Venezia, a project offering psychomotor courses with an oval ball for children aged 2 to 7. These play-based programs provide a well-rounded developmental path, fostering physical, motor, and social skills. Rugby serves as a positive vehicle for values such as teamwork, collaboration, inclusion, loyalty, and sharing—fundamental lessons for the growth and psychosocial development of young children.
