Other Work
Cate is proud to work in areas of theater other than the spotlight. They are also passionately active in stage combat choreography and intimacy direction.
Fight Choreography
In the summer of 2024, Cate worked as part of a team of fight choreographers and captains on a production of She Kills Monsters by the Straight to the Stars program, run by Williamson County Children's Theater. Cate and their team worked together to teach a group of high school students how to safely and effectively execute stage combat. Cate choreographed half of the fights in the production and stayed with the production to work as a fight captain during the run of the play.
Intimacy Direction
As well as fight choreography, Cate worked on the intimacy direction and choreography for Straight to the Stars' production of She Kills Monsters. Cate worked with actors to understand their boundaries, establish consistent use of consent during rehearsals, and manage check-ins during the run of the play.
Pictured to the right is Cate during one of the check-ins before a performance. Cate ensured that the actresses were comfortable with the intimacy that was choreographed and made themself available for questions at any time.
