Welcome to Come to the Brink w/Zoe Flowers. This is the space where we talk about navigating profound life transitions—the moments that shake us, the endings we never expected, and the ways we find our way forward.
Today, I’m sitting down with someone who knows a thing or two about reinvention. Jarvis Antonio Green is a stage director, producer, and cultural worker based in montréal. He is the founder and former producing artistic director of jag productions, a Vermont and NYC-based company dedicated to creating spaces for Black and queer storytelling in the American theatre. during his tenure at JAG, he directed and produced acclaimed productions including Choir Boy, Next to Normal, Fences, and Lady Day at Emerson’s Bar & Grill, and launched Jagfest, a new works festival for Black playwrights.
After years of incredible work, he closed JAG in June 2024, months later, his beloved dog passed, and then his long-term relationship ended that September.
Jarvis and I are going to talk about what happens when life demands we let go. How do we move through grief and transition? And how do we trust the new beginning waiting on the other side?
We’re going to talk about all of it—mourning what was, trusting what’s next, and the slow process of stepping into a new version of yourself.
