not like us; Not like us
2022, 15min

a film by Neven Lochhead and Tanya Lukin Linklater
with Ceinwen Gobert and Ivanie Aubin-Malo

This two-part film and performance document is built around a close reading of Tanya Lukin Linklater’s book of poetry, Slow Scrape (2022), which the poet Layli Long Soldier describes as “an expansive and undulating meditation on time, relations, origin, and colonization.” A long-term collaborative methodology between Linklater, filmmaker Neven Lochhead, and dancers Ceinwen Gobert and Ivanie Aubin-Malo developed out of Linklater’s concept of “felt structure,” which she defines as “a space between us” that is “atmospheric, ever-changing, on the move.”
