Elizabeth Kenny has always enjoyed collective improvisation and working with singers, and has had a longstanding love of English 17th century song. A fellowship in the Creative and Performing Arts at Southampton University, funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council, enabled her to pursue ideas and experiments in the performance of this repertoire with a number of singer and player collaborators. Together they toured a project entitled The Masque of Moments in 2007-8, and the group became the Theatre of the Ayre.
