Athens Plaython Festival 2012
September 29, 2012 - September 30, 2012
“An international street games festival taking place in Athens hosting big games, design & technology workshops and city wide fun”.
From the website:
Are you ready to come together and dance with stoplights, win epic battles, concur the streets, “run” in the Athens Plaython? The city’s first ever street games festival is happening the weekend of the 29 & 30th of September 2012, hosting a marathon of big games and workshops for every age!
The festival hosts a range of game design & technology workshops from local and international artists for both kids and adults. We are inviting you to take the role of game designers, tinker with new technologies and learn how to design innovative play; you will create your own arcade soundtrack, create new types of olympic games and craft narratives for your neighborhood!
The festival is hosting a series of innovative big games for every age designed by local and international artists. We are asking Athenians to get out on the streets and re-imagine their cityscape, use a bench as their headquarters, play with projections on the walls, plan maps out of chalk, jump over imaginary obstacles, defend a fountain, dance in front of changing traffic lights, hide a treasure under a bus stop.
