"Flow Tide" (2020) is an independent video project created by two Vancouver-based artists, dancer Shion Skye Carter and Japanese calligraphy artist Kisyuu. Collaborating from their respective homes at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, the two artists bring their artistic practices together from a distance.

In this unique collaboration, the artists explore the intrinsic relationship between contemporary dance and the centuries-old tradition of calligraphy. Shion embodies the movement of the calligraphy brush, creating a sensation of the liquid ink flowing through her body as she dances, while Kisyuu’s dance takes place through her brush. Each brushstroke adds a call to which the dancer responds, taking the form of an abstract conversation. This conversation from a distance becomes a representation of Kisyuu and Shion’s connections to their Japanese roots, to their art forms, and to one another.
