Founded in 2011, CabinFever is a performance company that produces original multi-media, site-specific performance works inspired by and performed inside people’s homes and historical spaces.

The company has also performed original works in architectural institutions, most notably at The Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago, Soho House, On The Boards, Town Hall Seattle, and Hyde Park Art Center. CabinFever is led by Artistic Director Elana Jacobs and the work/medium of the company is constantly shifting to move with the times.

“ the work, designed for the occasion, seemed to “respire” with the realities of the museum experience, formally rigorous at times, demanding close attention, and allowing interludes for the visitor to step back, take a breath, and develop a different relationship to the performance — seeing the dancers as fellow-visitors to the museum negotiating the spaces with movements meaningful to those spaces and expressive of our common humanity.”
