Library alive with sounds
By Alan Rivett
• The Lucknow Library was alive with the
sounds of enthusiastic children, clapping,
dancing and singing to the music of an
up-and-coming children's entertainer on
May 3.
Deborah Dunleavy, a Toronto native,
presented the music from her latest
children's album Jibbery Ave to approxi-
mately 40 parents and children at the
Libraiy. Since the album came out in
November of 1984, Ms. Dunleavy has been
giving, an average of 80 concerts every
three months. She has also given concerts
in Clinton, Goderich and Walkerton.
A former teacher, and country and blues
musician' and composer, Ms. Dunleavy has
been performing. for children, since 1972.
She says ;she chose to pursue children's
Performing because it incorporated both
OaChing and music. She also found teach-
ing to be "creatively stifling". which
prompted her shift into children's music.
The basis of her show, she sags, is the
use of children's rhymes and rhythms in a
contemporary context. All the while, the
children are encouraged to participate by
singing and dancing to the songs.
She has found children's entertainment
in Canada in the areas of dance, theatre
AT THE
and literature to be setting standards south
of the border. She says in the United
States, performers such as Raft and.
Helen, Lois and Bram are accorded the
status of "pop stars for kids".
"Children's culture in Canada' is very
lively. It's not Disney and it's not the
Smurfs, but it's real people working with
children in a fairly intelligent way," said
Ms. Dunleavy.
Next on her agenda is the release of a
video this year for children. She expects it
to be available for Christmas. She also
plans to release a Christmas album called
Tick Tock Rock this year. Eventually, she
hopes to be bringing her children's shows
to larger venues and will perform in Detroit
in the near future.
She credits agencies such as the Ontario
Arts Council and Outreach Ontario for
providing money to bring performers to
small towns, otherwise the arts would have
a difficult time surviving in the smaller.
