Wait a Minute…

Hiya, I'm Scott Thomas, an artist and theatremaker working in the Southside of Glasgow. I'll be working with a group of creative people at The Wee Retreat CIC, a community wellbeing centre, throughout January to take part in the fun creative prompts.

As we're in a peaceful space, we'll be exploring how relaxing our mind and bodies beforehand will affect the work we create and how we approach it. I'm really looking forward to working with my group and showcasing the work they create in mini exhibitions dotted around the city.

I chose this creative prompt as taking a pause is something I've recently adopted in my work. Often our lives can be busy or hectic and we hurry to cram as much into our day as we can.

I've found that stepping back and focusing on my breathing or on just clearing my thoughts before creating that my I enjoy the process a lot more. There's less stress when things go awry or inspiration temporarily drifts away.

Helo, Scott Thomas ydw i, artist a gwneuthurwr theatr yn gweithio yn ardal Southside Glasgow. Byddaf i’n gweithio gyda grŵp o bobl greadigol yn The Wee Retreat CIC, canolfan llesiant cymunedol, drwy gydol mis Ionawr i gymryd rhan yn yr heriau hwyliog. Gan ein bod mewn lle tawel, byddwn yn edrych ar sut y bydd ymlacio ein meddwl a’n cyrff ymlaen llaw’n effeithio ar y gwaith rydyn ni’n ei greu a sut rydyn ni’n mynd ati. Dwi’n edrych ymlaen yn fawr at weithio gyda fy ngrŵp a dangos y gwaith maen nhw’n ei greu mewn arddangosfeydd bach o gwmpas y ddinas.
