Summary[]

Manderson-Galvin's distinctive theatre runs the gamut from docu-drama to black comedy, vaudeville to hyper-realism making him a notable Australian theatre maker. He's also distinguished by his increasingly large body of work.[2] Manderson-Galvin writes and appears in much of his theatre also directing the majority of it. For inspiration, Manderson-Galvin draws heavily on his training as a ballet dancer, philosophy, sociology, and his Jewish and Irish heritage. He's performed on stages diverse as Radio National, pool halls, the National Theatre, Melbourne and a kiddy pool full of jelly under a bridge in Northcote.

In 2010 he won the Munster Poetry Slam Champion and placed in the finals of the All-Ireland Poetry Slam. His poetry, whilst usually live has been published in Herding Kites, a ten-year anthology of the National Young Writers' Festival, a festival at which he was a regular guest and performer.
