Consider Flow Arts

"Flow Arts": As the current world condition has taken us from previous live festivals and performance, many Flow Artists and Dancers are turning to virtual and broadcasted live performances of their talents. Traditionally, we as dancers, hula-hoop performers, jugglers, poi spinners and other similar disciplines, have had to gravitate towards the "Music & Performance Art" category. (With no specific tag identifying us as with Flow Artists, nor dancers). Now that Twitch has adjusted back to "Music" as the original category, we have migrated to "just chatting"; it doesn't really identify our community at all, among others that actually do feature a "just chatting" brand. With the help of a few partnered streamers, we have formed a Twitch Team - "Flowmies" that was approved earlier in Spring of this year. We've since been building and growing our community while inviting and supporting other flow artists IRL, to come join Twitch from other platforms to continue their performance routines that have otherwise been put on pause. Some of the entertainers that have become part of our Team Flowmies have an incredible following outside of Twitch; with years to decades of experience in their field. Marketing, branding, and merchandising has led them to become quite successful, and we're honored that they have joined Twitch, and our team through our interview process. However, we still lack that unique category or tag that represents what a viewer can expect from our content. More importantly, we find difficulty in discovering fellow flow artists that may be interested in a larger community with growth potential, since we cannot search for "Flow Arts" as a tag. Not even "Dance" exists (which would be a vague description of what we perform).

We would like Twitch to introduce a tag "Flow Arts" to help identify our content and reach others that may search for similar creators so that we may bring more community building exercises and foster a home for a wide spectrum of talents that we already align ourselves with on our entertainment résumés as flow artists.

Thank you,

    Considering the growing community that the Flowmies are, and how supportive and caring everyone is, Twitch should feel compelled to grant this vibrant group of artists their own tag.

    Considering there are more flow arts streamers joining twitch all the time it makes sense to give them a category. They already have a solid presence and welcoming positive community on Twitch, many people like myself watch flow arts streamers almost daily.

    Let the flow artist have the ability to do their thing.

    as someone who personally flows(orbiting) we def need a flow arts tag on twitch!! please.
  • ArchersApothecary commented  ·   ·  Report

    These creators are amazing. They need their own tag. It's wrong that performing arts was taken away from them
  • wheel_effect commented  ·   ·  Report

    I feel that what these creators give us is so unique it merits it's own recognition. Thank you.

  • rainbowflows commented  ·   ·  Report

  • A_D_D_Gamer commented  ·   ·  Report

    There is a large flow arts community on Twitch. It would only make sense to have a tag for it. Good for streamers and good for Twitch.

    Flow Arts is a huge asset to twitch due to the numerous talented streamers and the HUGE, loving, supporting, community of viewers <3 We currently have NO recourse of having no way to identify our streams. full stop. Fix that please Twitch.

    I vote yes to a Flow Arts tag on Twitch. :) and it seems like 200 other people do, too. ♡ Let's go Twitch!
  • franck_lee commented  ·   ·  Report

    Flow art is literally the only reason I got on Twitch. I was just told it is not an actual tag yet and I had to let Twitch know that we all need more of it.
    Please allow these artists to promote themselves better on this platform.

    Seems like a great way to continue improving the site. Just another way to streamline the search for the evergrowing community of flow artists.
  • MoonsOfVega commented  ·   ·  Report

    There are so many fantastic flow artists/creators out there; they need and very much deserve their own tag, to get them out of Just Chatting, because that's NOT an appropriate tag for it. Give them their own tag!
  • ElloaWendy commented  ·   ·  Report

    Anything to help artists get more visibility. I'm in favour of this TAG
