GODLIN is a seven-part experimental dance film and stage work series responding to prompts addressing social isolation, exposing the nature of human relationships and the oppression of peoples. The world of GODLINis inspired and conceptualized around the sociopolitical project Soul City, conceived by Floyd B. McKissick, the former national director of the Congress of Racial Equality. As an example of Black capitalism, the daring experiment was to give equal living and job opportunities to Black people in North Carolina to build a multiethnic utopia in the middle of 1970s Ku Klux Klan country.
