Carol continues to be involved in international collaborations through M:A:P Movement Architecture Performance a research collaboration with architect and performance designer Dorita Hannah and sound artist Russell Scoones. M:A:P create site-responsive works that interweave dance, sound, design and architecture to create extraordinary journeys in urban settings. Projects such as Her Topia (Athens, 2005) and Tongues of Stone (Perth Dancing City 2009-11) explore new ways of telling stories about cities and the people who inhabit them by paying attention to the hidden, the neglected and the lost.
