Rosie's Ranch Part II (2024-current)
My newest homesteading adventure:)
The Anger Project (2019-current)
The Anger Project investigates the multiplicitous layers of anger and the ways it manifests in the body, researches deeply ingrained and policed societal conformities intended to suppress and control anger and works towards healing these wounds through private workshops and public events that include movement/body research, conversation and film.
This process holds space for both private and public participation by working with participants who want to remain anonymous as well as those who want to be seen and heard.

Rosie's Ranch (2015-2021)
Home!
Haas, Marisa Muro, Haas's dog, Sugar, and Marisa's dog, Spock, arrived on August 2, 2014 in Rosie (Haas's tiny mobile house/stage).
Home!
In August 2014 Haas stopped a three-year long traveling performance tour to homestead on unincorporated land in northern Arizona. There they opened Rosie's Ranch, which served as an informal art residency and retreat space that included ecologically supported alternative building practices from 2015-2021. This twenty-acre, off-grid, rural desert landscape supported artists of all mediums including, but not limited to, writers, dancers, multi-media and earthen installation artists as well as those folks interested in building tiny livable structures and stages. During this span of time Rosie's Ranch hosted 7 artists in residence and 2 art retreats for small groups; all were free to participants. Recordings of artists and art work were never recorded due to the informal nature of the residencies as well as the desire to create space, time and privacy for guests. After COVID, Rosie's Ranch remained open for Haas and a few close friends before closing in 2021.
Art/Work Traveling Experiment (2011-2014)

The beginning stages of building while performing meant that the stages were not attached to the MPD yet so we positioned them on the ground. August 2011
I connected Rosie to concrete piers and created a permanent porch from the back stage.

In August 2011 Haas began a three-year building/performance tour. Traveling from town to town they performed out of a tiny mobile house/stage while building the structure and organizing art events. These events brought people of diverse skills, passions, and interests together to share experiences, dreams, and stories. From discussions about local organic farming, to mime workshops, to movement studies, to live-body installation pieces, to drag shows, the stage was utilized as a platform for each community it traveled to. Within that span of time Haas hosted twelve separate events, each ranging from one to thirty days, all free of charge for participants. From Chicago to Huntsville to Albuquerque Haas partnered with art centers, city agencies, universities and individuals utilizing the MPD as a gathering site for workshops, brainstorming sessions, rehearsals and performances.
