For his sixth interactive slide show, Off the Wall in China, Jans travelled through the Philippines and China, slept illegally on the Great Wall, took a treacherous hike up the face of a cliff, climbed a volcano, attended a "Crucifixion Festival" and probably ate something disturbing. Jans shares his adventures along with thousands of great pictures and video Feb. 21, 8 p.m. at the Rio Theatre. Tickets at Zulu, Neptoon Records or online at wrjphoto.com.

Montreal's RUBBERBANDance Group blurs the boundaries between hip-hop, contemporary and classical dance in its latest production Gravity of the Centre, which is also "inspired by social issues stemming from the contrast between abundance and scarcity." Kind of makes our attempts at doing the worm at the last Courier Christmas party seem shallow. It runs until Feb. 23 at the Cultch. For tickets, go to thecultch.com or call 604-251-1363.
Local improv troupe The Windy City Women returns to Havana Theatre for a series of highly suggestive performances. The group describes Liquid as "a full-length, entirely improvised two-act performance, based solely on audience suggestions and contributions." Wackiness ensues. Catch it Feb. 20 to 23 and Feb. 27 to March 2. Tickets at brownpapertickets.com/event/296597. More info at havanarestaurant.ca/Theatre.
Rachel Grady and Heidi Ewing's Detropia looks like one of those quietly devastating, utterly spellbinding documentaries that chronicles the ravages of globalization. This time the directors behind the Oscar-nominated 2006 doc Jesus Camp take an unflinching yet poetic look at the rise and fall of Detroit, "a grand city teetering on the brink of dissolution." It's not all doom and gloom for the Motor City, though. Described as an "ardent love letter to past vitality and a grateful salute to those who remain in place," Detropia screens at Pacific Cinematheque Feb. 21 to 25. For more info and show times, go to thecinematheque.ca or call 604-688-FILM.
