The article discusses two recent performances,SUMMITby Andy Smith andwe are all made of starsby johnsmith . The two Smiths construct theatrical space in divergent but complementary ways. Where Andy Smith produces a form of assembly, johnsmith produces a form of assemblage. The article discusses each of these performances each in relation to Judith Butler’s recent reformulation of Hannah Arendt’s conception of the ‘space of appearance’. Butler suggests how ‘action is always supported and that it is invariably bodily, even … in its virtual forms’ (73), and that consequently ‘we will need to consider more closely the bodily dimension of action, what the body requires, and what the body can do’ (73). The article traces Butler’s argument to its roots in Spinoza, via Deleuze. As Deleuze writes: ‘A body can be anything; it can be an animal, a body of sounds, a mind or an idea; it can be a linguistic corpus, a social body, a collectivity’ (1988: 127). A body, Spinoza argues — of whatever kind — is composed of speeds and slownesses, movement and rest, which he calls ‘longitude’ and ‘latitude’. In the question ofwhat a body can do, I locate a convergence between the concept of assembly and assemblage. Andy Smith’sassembly, and johnsmith’sassemblages, produce longitudes and latitudes — orientations not only within a social world, but a material universe, one defined in terms of ‘orders, forms, wills—forces’ (Grosz : 5). The article take the two performances as exemplars of an emerging conception of theatricality, each attempting to more deeply respect the place of the human and nonhuman within a wider cosmology. In the reemergence and recovery of sensation, the two Smiths’ theatrical performances become artlike in their speeds and stillnesses, their resonances, refrains — artlike in their unfolding revelations of this sentient world.
