From 1998 to 2002, Carter was research associate with Suspect Culture, the theatre company led by director Graham Eatough, writer David Greig and composer Nick Powell.
In 2004, Carter founded her own performance company, EK, for whom she directed Habitats (2004), and devised and directed Soul Pilots (2004) and Plain Speaking (2005) for Tramway in Glasgow. She also co-wrote and directed Game Theory (2008), which was nominated for the Meyer-Whitworth award.
As a dramaturg, Carter has worked with Untitled Projects, the National Theatre of Scotland, Coney HQ and Malmo Opera House. With Vanishing Point she has worked on Interiors (2009), Saturday Night (2011) and Tomorrow (2014).
Carter's plays include What We Know for the Traverse (2010) and Teatro Circulo in New York (2013) and Wildlife for Magnetic North (2011).
Skane was first seen at Hampstead Theatre Downstairs (2011), and won the New Writing Commission at the Berliner Festspiele Stuckemarkt (2012), and received its German premiere as In Der Ebene at Theatre Ulm (2014).
Carter has also written Fast Ganz Nah/Almost Near for the Dresden Staatsschauspiel (2013) and the Finborough Theatre (2014).

Carter also works with Swedish conceptual art duo Goldin + Senneby on The Nordenskiold Model, an ongoing investigation into algorithmic trading and the nature of financial reality. Scenes have been staged in Bucharest, Vilnius, Rotterdam, Stockholm, New York, Aachen and Copenhagen.
Carter was the IASH/Traverse Theatre creative fellow at Edinburgh University in 2012.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers.

We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
