The Place you Gave us

About the Show

Think about the places that stay with you.

The first apartment you called your own, the theatre where you met a friend who changed your life, the cafe where you finally said goodbye. "The Place You Gave Us” is about the way these places hold our stories, and how these stories hold us.

Blending together movement and dance with improvised theatre, this show promises to explore all of the mundane, lived-in, and heartbreakingly beautiful ways our environments become an extension of us.

Thank you for the place you gave us.

About Burger & Briggs

Burger & Briggs is an improvisational theatre duo whose work lives between emotion, movement, and play.

Made up of Helen Burger (she/they) and D'Arcy Briggs (he/they), the two first met as students in Paper Street Theatre’s Masterclass program. Their backgrounds in dance, production, and improvisational theatre informs a practice that is both grounded and fluid, shaped by the room, the moment, and the connection between performers and audience.

They have performed at Paper Street Theatre’s Improv Festival, Impulse Theatre’s Peek Festival, Theatre Skam’s Skampede Festival, and many other events in the region.

At its core, the work of Burger & Briggs is an invitation: to find the truth in every moment.
