In October 2012, Kate wrote and performed as part of another collaborative work with choreographer Jenni Harding for a curtain raiser project to support touring contemporary dance performance, Shiver. In 2013, Kate wrote, spoke and danced with Jenni's Southern Blue Dancers in Busselton, WA.

At Poetry D'Amour (2014) and other events, Kate has busted out some original rhymes with the musical accompaniment of Summerhouse, an acapella singing group from Perth, WA.

Kate collaborated with Vocal Evolution, a men's acapella group, in Perth, WA, as part of the City of Canning Music Series (2015). Kate wrote and performed spoken word poetry to accent the songs that were performed.
