New Yorkers who don’t have a fireplace during this deep January freeze can head to the Joyce Theater to see Ronald K. Brown’s Evidence A Dance Company, where the russet backdrops, rolling hips, and reggae beats give off plenty of warmth. The passion of Brown’s “Grace,” which is celebrating its 25th anniversary this year, is enough to fire up even the coldest of souls. You may enter the theater shivering and complaining about congestion pricing, but you will exit inspired to find your own peace—or maybe even become a better person. “If you have to make war, make war on yourself,” said guest artist Kevin Boseman in Brown’s “Order My Steps,” ardently reciting text written by his late brother, the actor Chadwick Boseman.
