 Defining
Moments is adapted from the short story found in Anne
Fleming’s Governor General award nominated collection entitled
Pool Hopping. Where memories collide with the present
day retelling, it tells the poignant coming of age story of
young woman discovering her sexuality in the mid 1970’s. Adapted
with expressionistic staging elements, it featured the
season work of Vancouver actor and teacher Ruth McIntosh.
Anne
Fleming grew up in Toronto, where she spent rainy days
riding the subway and nights reading past bedtime. She studied
at the University of Waterloo, where she hosted “The Leaping
Lesbian Radio Show,” and at the University of British Columbia
where she received her MFA. Her fiction has been published
in Vital Signs: An Anthology of New Canadian Writers (Oberon
Press, 1997 and in numerous literary magazines including
The New Quarterly, Prism International and Prarrie Fire. Anne
Fleming lives in Vancouver where she is a contributor to the
Georgia Straight and a lecturer at UBC and the Emily Carr
Institute of Design.
