Episode 6
In Episode 6 of The Seed Pod. Simran shares stories about Hinduism and nature connection as part of identity and worldview, theatre and the arts as a means for communication, and the connections between social justice and nature protection.
We are going to dive deeper into one of her stories in this Learning Pod using a Play - Observe - Discover - Share structure.
Observe
Now’s your time to discover your performance talents!
In this activity you can work alone, or in a group to come up with a performance. Within this performance you would need to include three randomly drawn nature words, and see whether your audience can guess the words which you had to include.
Don’t make it too easy!
We hope that these nature words can be included well throughout your performance, but the aim is not to have your audience guess your three words correctly, maybe one or two.
To ensure these words are harder to guess correctly, include enough words in your script, story, poem, etc outside of the three words.

Katherine’s Story:
“I have always loved exploring rock pools, especially with my Grandparents. It’s so awesome that I’m now in my 3rd year of my marine bio degree and have discovered why I decided that was going to be my major.”
