Draft:HAUI
| This draft may meet Wikipedia's criteria for speedy deletion because in its current form it serves only to promote or publicise an entity, person, product, or idea, and would require a fundamental rewrite in order to become encyclopedic. However, the mere fact that a company, organization, or product is a page's subject does not, on its own, qualify that page for deletion under this criterion. This criterion also does not apply where substantial encyclopedic content would remain after removing the promotional material as deletion is not cleanup; in this case please remove the promotional material yourself, or add the {{advert}} tag to alert others to do so. See CSD G11.
If this draft does not meet the criteria for speedy deletion, or you intend to fix it, please remove this notice, but do not remove this notice from pages that you have created yourself.

You can also visit the talk page to check if you have received a response to your message. Note that this draft may be deleted at any time if it unquestionably meets the speedy deletion criteria, or if an explanation posted to the talk page is found to be insufficient. Note to administrators: this page has content on its talk page which should be checked before deletion. Administrators: check links, talk, history (last), and logs before deletion.

HAUI is the stage name for Howard J Davis, is a Canadian mixed-media artist known for his cross-disciplinary contributions to theatre, dance, opera, film, and visual arts. His work explores themes of race, gender, and sexual orientation, aiming to bridge art with activism and illuminate marginalized narratives in history[1].
Career
[edit]HAUI has collaborated with prominent arts organizations including the Canadian Opera Company, Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC), Stratford Festival, Shaw Festival, and Wildseed Centre for Arts and Activism.[2] His artistic portfolio spans directing for stage and screen, designing video projections and visual arts, and devising plays, poetry, producing, and performing.
Notable works
[edit]One of HAUI's achievements includes directing his feature-film debut, MixedUp, produced by trans filmmaker Jack Fox. The film was produced in collaboration with OUTtv, the world's largest LGBTQ+ network[3]. MixedUp has been described as "a bold mix of documentary, confessional, strident manifesto, and arthouse experiment" that "defies categorization, a lot like the artist at its centre"[4].
He also directed, designed, and devised Private Flowers, a site-specific dance installation at Toronto's Fort York National Historic Site, commissioned by the City of Toronto for Pride festivities[5].
HAUI's acclaimed world premiere of Aportia Chryptych: A Black Opera for Portia White at the Canadian Opera Company marked a significant milestone in opera.[6] This production featured the first all-Black creative team including stage director, librettist, composer, ensemble, costume, and sound designer, celebrating diversity in a groundbreaking performance[7]
Recognition and awards
[edit]HAUI was appointed artist-in-residence for the City of Guelph[8] and received the Recent Graduate Award from Toronto Metropolitan University in recognition of his exceptional contributions to the arts nationally and internationally[1].
Artistic approach
[edit]Known for his rejection of categorizations, HAUI's art reflects the diversity of his own identity, amplifying overlooked themes, myths, and histories. He creates works that intersect various artistic mediums, challenging traditional boundaries through an unconventional and diverse lens.
