RON SWANER: SITEWORKS ENDS TOMORROW >>>

Site-1 What are people doing today?" I overheard a man who looked like he just sailed in from Monaco.

"I think it's part of something that's evolving â€" so everybody is putting in a little piece of this evolution," replied his wife FiFi (I assume).

On the Museum of Glass plazas, a woman walking her dog passes slowly by, circles, sits, watches, walks by again.

What? Oh, the dancers. Not part of the scene you expect under the hot sun outside the Museum of Glass?

Site-2 It's day three of SiteWorks 2009 â€" a free, highly organized, grant-funded and professionally curated dance performance staged by The Barefoot Collective on three outdoor plazas at the Museum of Glass. It wrapped up at 4 p.m. today. The last performance hits MOG's concrete plazas tomorrow beginning at 2 p.m. featuring five performances ending at 4 p.m.

This year's SiteWorks production brings together 14 different performing groups from the greater Puget Sound, San Francisco, New York and Spain. The dance performances are inspired by and created for the architecture of the Museum of Glass overlooking the Thea Foss Waterway.

It's worth checking out.
