Sat. Dec. 2

 Spirituality, community responsibility and liberation. These are the themes Ronald K. Brown says run through his latest works, "Order My Steps," "Walking Out the Dark, Part !" and "Grace," which make their Boston premieres at the Cutler Majestic Theatre Saturday Dec. 2. The New York Times' Anna Kisselgoff regards Brown as "one of the major modern dance choreographers to emerge in the past ten years." Brown sees what he does through color, explosive jumps and patterns - incorporating modern, African, ballet and hip-hop styles - to be a means of educating, entertaining and enlightening. That's a triple-E assault we always hope for when we go out to an arts event, not one we always come home with. You'll hear music from Duke Ellington, Fela Kuti and Sweet Honey in the Rock, among others. The company, which is called Ronald K. Brown/EVidence, performs at 7:30 Friday and 8 the next night. Tickts: $35.
