Between 2012 and 2014, a partnership between the International Writing Program at the University of Iowa and the Moscow Art Theatre, the home stage of Stanislavsky and Chekhov, in collaboration with the University's Department of Theatre Arts, produced three installments of Book Wings, a collaborative exchange and performance initiative designed to bring together writers, actors, directors, and new media professionals from the United States and partner countries in a virtual environment.
