Creative Spark Workshops

Presented by Cues For Cancer at The Holistic Treehouse

When the lights go up, something shifts. For 75 minutes, the weight of a diagnosis, being a caregiver, a patient, survivor, and being human becomes shared — and that changes everything.

Creative Spark is a monthly performing arts workshop created for individuals affected by cancer, their caregivers, families, and the wider community. Through improv, musical theater, acting, and voice, we make space for joy, expression, and connection — no stage experience required, and no pressure to perform.

Each session is guided, welcoming, and built around play. You might find yourself laughing through an improv game, lifting your voice in song, or simply sitting in a circle among people who understand. Whatever you bring — grief, hope, nervous energy, or curiosity — there's room for it here.

What to expect

• A warm welcome circle and gentle group warm-up
• Theater games and creative exercises that build ease and laughter
• A rotating monthly focus — improv, musical theater, acting, and song
• An open, no-pressure share circle to close (participation always optional)
