Over the years, Mark has made many collaborative pieces with traditional people from all over his country. In 2003 Mark designed the lighting for the international tour of “Crying Baby” for Stalker Theatre Company, working with the traditional people of Arnhem Land. Howett designed the lighting for Australian Ballet and Bangarra's production of “Rites”, which was simulcast nationally on the Australian Broadcasting Commission, and toured to New York's City Centre in 1999, also playing later at the Paris Opera House.
