    Lady Gaga on Crutches: In her multi-faceted perfor Lady Gaga on Crutches:
In her multi-faceted performances, a collage of opera, rock concert, spin class, fashion and photo shoot, Lady Gaga pushes boundaries and forces audiences to think differently. She is also famously active and supportive of marginalized groups such as the LGBTQ community. In her recent appearances at Coachella Festival, California and Copacabana Beach, Brazil, while singing, ‘Paparazzi’, the singer ambulates across the stage utilizing shinny metal crutches before forcefully throwing them away. The singer’s recent medical issues with her legs and how she struggled to overcome adversity may well have inspired this ‘Gladiator-like’ costume choice. But seeing Lady Gaga normalizing mobility aides in front of an audience of two million was bold and refreshing, making crutches seem almost sexy. I’ve always been impressed with Gaga’s music and advocacy and it felt to me like she was embracing the disabled community and normalizing the use of mobility aides while subtly encouraging all of us to, “be and believe in yourself”.

interactive team art events

Gregory Burns’ Interactive Team Art Events are playful, participatory, and highly productive activities for large and small group events, including conferences, meetings, workshops, off-sites, and retreats. Through unique, innovative and empowering team building events for groups of up to 1,000, Gregory helps participants reinforce company culture and values by creating amazing artwork that staff craft in a collaborative effort that is a testament to the team and their objectives. With exceptional results, Gregory’s events stimulate well-being, inclusion and expression through interactive programs, re-igniting the creative spirit in all participants.

 

The process of visualizing, humanizing and personalizing company culture creates a strong connection and ownership for participants. Encouraging teamwork and free expression, Gregory’s methodology stimulates participants to reengage with their creativity and colleagues. While deliberating, drawing, painting and collaging, participants step outside their ‘default’ lives and become immersed in a creative journey of discovery together. These dynamic workshops promote positive interpersonal communications, make employees feel good about where they work and grow, and produce a lasting piece of art that will consistently reinforce their expression of the company’s values.

 

“Company values are usually pieces of paper with words on them. Painting forces us to embody and internalize them.”  

 -Gregory Burns

Holding a Master of Fine Art in Painting from RMIT in Australia and educated in Europe, America, and Asia, as a professional fine artist, Gregory diverges from the status quo without the luxury of road maps or sign posts. He believes that lessons learned in the painting studio can shed light on the creative and communicative processes essential to today’s businesses. The results have been stunning.

 

Gregory is a member of the IOC’s Olympic Education Commission.

 

“Gregory’s masterclass delivered a motivating message that truly inspired everyone to come together as one team working towards a common goal and fell perfectly in line with our theme.”

-Vladimir Dabbah,Vice President, Marriott

 

Key Topics:

Visualizing Company Culture through Art– Through unique, innovative and empowering team building art events for groups of up to 1,000, Gregory helps participants reinforce company culture and values by creating amazing artwork that staff craft in a collaborative effort that is a testament to the team and their objectives. With exceptional results, Gregory’s events stimulate well-being, inclusion and expression through interactive programs, re-igniting the creative spirit in all participants.

 

Strategies Driving Successful Artists & Leaders– Art teaches us about creativity, intuition, exploration and how to deal with uncertainty. After analysing five principles which great artists and leaders share in order to be more creative, Gregory leads participants through a hands-on art-making workshop, which stimulates the more creative right side of our brain. By taking audiences out of their comfort zones and undertaking exercises that encourage them to think individually and collectively outside of the box, this MasterClass empowers participants to work creatively and more intuitively to find solutions in foreign situations.
