Grace (1999) is a joyful ensemble piece with accents of hip hop and West African pop. Set to music by Duke Ellington, Fela Kuti and Roy Davis, Jr., Grace weaves the story of a community’s spiritual journey.

“The dancing is undeniably powerful; it sweeps you up in its physical tumult and strong emotions. There is nothing cool and restrained about Brown's works…”  
– Sarah Kaufman, The Washington Post, May 3, 2010

“An ingenious mix of rhythmic, African traditions and loose-jointed clubbing, Brown’s swinging choreography makes viewers feel like dancing…Watching them is a sheer delight.”
– Robert Johnson, The New Jersey Star Ledger, February 9, 2006

“Brown is one of the strongest, sweetest synthesizers of African and American-style concert dance on the contemporary circuit.” 
– Ann Murphy, Contra Costa Times, January 25, 2010
