The Anger Project

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 research, conversation and film.

The Anger Project was recently awarded a month-long artist residency at CATALYST Creative Collective in Tucson, Arizona to hold a series of Anger Project events for the month of March 2024 and we are currently raising funds for the event, which will include free public workshops, a film screening and a performance. Funds will also be used to continue working on a series of Anger Project Visual Podcasts, each one highlighting someone's anger story through movement and conversation. You can view excerpts from two completed visual podcasts here: https://www.angerproject.org/creations.

The Anger Project is committed to paying artists a living wage. Local performers will be paid a minimum of $250/performance, out-of-state artists a minimum of $500/performance. Contributions from you will support the employment of performers, facilitators, photographers, videographers, stage managers, musicians, a mediator and a mental health facilitator; funds will also be used for costumes, space rentals, insurance and more. 

This is an exciting time for the Anger Project. Within this process is a desire to create space for more, and deeper, conversations about one of our most pathologized, and powerful, emotions and to shift antiquated narratives into ones of self-empowerment, love and celebration.

The Anger Project is a sponsored project of Fractured Atlas, a non-profit arts service organization. Contributions for the charitable purpose of the Anger Project through Fractured Atlas are tax-deductible to the extent permitted by law.

I am deeply grateful for your support, and for the broader support of my community and I am looking forward to building this new chapter of the Anger Project with you!

With gratitude,

Haas
