Taylormade Studios presents ‘Infectious: Part One: Mad About The Boy’ and Directors Q&A
Hearing Loop
‘What do they see when they see you?’ – the question asked by Vidal Montgomery’s debut short film ‘Infectious’.
Inspired by the poetry of Gwendolyn Brooks and the artistry of Allesandra Seutin, Infectious is a jazz soul poetry film about emotional wellbeing and sensually transmitted dependency in diaspora.
The film is a soulful collection of tone poems featuring amazing artists Lacey Adigwu, Caroline Archer, and Randolph Matthews who bring a Nubian aesthetic to the issue of emotional wellbeing in diaspora, and explore the relationship between art, collectivism and therapy, to make a work of art about the healing power of art.
The film will be followed by a Q&A with the Director and cast and crew, exploring perspectives of culture as the immune system of a people and the transformations that happen to people when they share their stories with strangers.
Then a live performances featuring ‘After 4 Women – ‘Mad About the Girls but Still We Rise”, a sharing from the earlier MULTiTRiBE workshop. A creative exploration inspired by Nina Simone’s famous song, ‘Four Women’ through conversation and art: transforming Black female stereotypes to reframe, reclaim and uplift ourselves, invoking powerful archetypes. Including artists Mellow Baku, Louise Katerega, Linda Bradshaw, Leah Golde and women of Diasporic community, embodying the cultural practices of honouring ancestry, reimagining futures and healing traditions.

What are ‘Pay What You Can’ tickets?
We believe that that arts should be accessible for all. For this reason some of our shows and events this year will be ‘Pay What You Can’, meaning that you decide how much you can or want to pay. This expands access to the arts for those who may not have been able to participate otherwise, or gives others the chance to support those who cannot by paying a bit extra.
You will see multiple prices available for each show or event. You can select whichever price you can afford or would like to pay – thank you.
