Andrew McNichol
He has worked extensively with the Ngarrindjeri community in Murray Bridge as both as a community workship leader and performing arts instructor.
It was personally transformative for Andrew to work as an artist in residence within the Yuendumu community. On his second visit, he was given a skin name, tying him to kin in order to work alongside indigenous artists under their guidance. This gift of kinship to the Walbiri community had a very powerful effect on him.
Andrew is currently the Artistic Director of the local arts group, Arts Excentrix, (formerly Dance Excentrix), an organisation that has made a huge contribution to Community Cultural Development in the Adelaide Hills and Mt Barker regions since 1987 providing performances and educational opportunities.
