No, Apart from being too busy as a professional Artist/Film 
maker/Writer/Festival and Concert promoter/ Story Teller/ Father of Five 
kids and Puppeteer to have time to do Christmas Panto's for schools 
(meeeeoowww).... I am also very fortunate in that our community is very 
sensitive/literate/considerate of the diversity of beliefs and practices in 
our community and has made a concious decision to work WITH these beliefs 
rather than resenting them.......
I am personally lucky enought to work closely with Hindi, Buddhists, Jews, 
Seihks, Muslims, Ba' Hai, Christians, Pagans and a plethora of other beliefs 
in assisting them to celebrate and share their beliefs and passions and have 
NEVER encountered a problem with integration EXCEPT with Christian 
fundamentalists...I dont work with them anymore...
But Hey! Check out the website for our next event.... 
www.woodfordfolkfestival.com and like it says THREE times on the home 
page...it is in Queensland, the mid north east of Australia which is in the 
Southern Hemisphere...Hope to C U there......

Daniel
