This writing rises from the ultimate desire to do “bad girl’s practice” as an utopian strategy in art making in 2018 – in this case in hard core emancipatory thinking in such reasonable medium as language and it’s targets related to the idea of “the self as an outsider who speaks from that position”. This idea of “the subject as an outsider position” can be seen also as in support of a right-minded chauvinistic academia where writing about art has gone deeply in to and from where linguistic thinking and writing are published as good. My work as a feminist choreographer is to try to re-write these good behaviours every time someone asks me to write and not to obey those justifications set by male myceliums through times. This choreographical language fantasma rises from the ultimate desire of me and my co-voices to think with the tiredness of trying to gain and maintain agency in different male myceliums in dance art. Rather than spending my actual time in jail for murder, I use my fantasmas and do art from them as a revolution.
