about paradox
Paradox Circus Entertainment is the company of Melbourne based Circus performer, Sarah 'Doogs' McDougall.
Sarah first ventured into the circus world seeking only a backsault for use in punctuating winning points on the volleyball court! As she discovered the various & exciting things circus had to offer, the game soon slipped away & circus took hold. Her first steps into this new world were through tumbling, manipulation, fire & aerial, all of which she fell in love with, along with a taste for the hilarious and the absurd! Amusingly, despite being scared of heights, aerial work fast became her passion and she sought to learn all she could about the various aerial apparatus available, before going on to create & develop her own individual apparatus, the slide trapeze.
With these solid foundations and hard work, Sarah was accepted into the National Institute of Circus Arts in 2010 where she completed the 3 year Bachelor of Circus Arts, specialising in Single Point and Slide Trapeze, Aerial Chains and Hula Hoops. In her time at the school, she displayed these skills both on and off the NICA stage in many performances around Melbourne. With a range of performance experience from roving, to solo & group feature acts and shows, she has since taken these skills nationally & internationally, performing and perfecting them for audiences of all types at countless festivals, events and productions.
