Kym Moore is artistic director of The AntiGravity Theatre Project in Providence, RI. She and managing director, Michael Williams established the company in May 2012 with the intent to challenge the boundaries of theatre, while exploring the depths of theatrical practice.

The company was launched with the world premiere of Yermedea RAW by Erik Ehn. The production toured the Northeast en route to La MaMa E.T.C. as part of the Soulographie project. The New York Times hailed the production for its "haunting images" as well as "energizing and frightening" performances. Kym's direction of Daniel Alexander Jones' Jomama Jones * RADIATE garnered notice as a 2010/2011 New York Times and Backstage Critics' Pick. Favorite playwrights include: Marcus Gardley, Robert O'Hara, Dominic Taylor, Adrienne Kennedy, Moises Kaufman, August Strindberg and Shakespeare. She has directed plays off-Broadway and in regional theaters including Soho Rep, Joe's Pub, New Dramatists, The Eugene O'Neill Playwrights Conference, Penumbra Theatre, HERE Arts Center, The Women’s Project, Boston Center for the Arts, and StageWest. Her one-act play, The Date, won the Pen and Brush Award for Best Short Play in 2003.

A new devised work Time's Up is currently in development. Recent Academic directing projects include: The Other Shore by Gao Xingjian, Funny House of a Negro by Adrienne Kennedy and Gross Indecency: The Three Trials of Oscar Wilde by Moises Kaufman at Brown University; as well as staged readings of new plays at the Harvard University Playwrights Festival.

Kym is an associate member of the Society of Stage Directors and Choreographers, an alumna of the Lincoln Center Theater Director’s Lab, and a faculty member in the department of Theatre Arts and Performance Studies at Brown University.
