Street game

Street games are usually simply play time activities for children in the most convenient venue.

In historical terms their origins are traceable to the very earliest evidence of sports in Greek and Roman civilisation.

Likewise, the high-wire walker, Philippe Petit, whose performance include walking between the World Trade Center towers in 1974, has described his 'interventions' on the urban environment as 'art crimes', suggesting their essence is creative and constitutes an expression—an interaction with the city.
