Sean Healy Presents: 2026 JAY B tape: roots

“tape: roots” arrives at Palladium Times Square as a live dance event, with JAY B among the featured performers. The work traces lineage and influence, moving between personal memory and inherited forms, and treating rhythm as a kind of record. In a city where premieres often become shorthand for cultural belonging, its New York run reads as a claim to space as much as a performance. One clear strength is its restraint: it lets the body carry the argument without explanation.
