Documentation plays a key role in our work particularly when it comes to capturing the choreographic process. This photo was taken during our residency @PointEastleigh for our short film 'Gillian'. We had such a great and productive time in their inspiring studio! #kabeccafilms

Our work involves developing creative responses to real people’s experiences. Part of our process is to explore the lives of our contributors. Here is a photograph of Lisa from when she was younger which we collected when developing our film ‘Twenty, Forty, Sixty’.

Our films utilise a range of different mediums. Our first short film, that was acquired by Channel 4's Random Acts for online distribution, involved projection, website design and animation. 📷 from the test shoot for 'Digital Tattoo: Artefact 1'. #kabeccafilms #randomacts #film

Through our filmmaking and collaborations, we share the personal experiences of women aged fifty or above. The quote below features in a short film, entitled Kindred, which we made with members of Retrospectif, a dance company for older adults based @PointEastleigh #kabeccafilms
Crinkled paper with sketched petals and a photo of dried flowers form the background of a quote from Kabecca Films' short film: "You can never imagine what it actually feels like to be in an old body... until you have it" - Sandra.

Our film ‘Twenty, Forty, Sixty’ is a choreographic short that preserves the memories of Lisa, for whom dance has always played an important role. Taking the viewer from the dance halls of the 1960s to the present day, it offers a unique perspective on the evolution of dance.
Text reads: "When menopause made me feel unattractive and useless he’d put on our song, hold me and say that I would always look to him like I did when we first met" in a white bubble text font. The background has a 70s feel, with lots of different bright colours.

Did you know the words spoken in our films come from conversations we have with our contributors? We love this moving quote from one of our early conversations with Gillian.
Text Reads: ‘As long as we have BREATH, we are always BECOMING WHO WE SHOULD BE. Gillan’ in a maroon red. The backgrounds is different shades of pink.

A dance floor holds so many memories if only they could talk. Through our work at Kabeca Films we aim to preserve precious memories of transformative experiences on the dance floor. 📸 a screen grab from our Kabecca Films' documentary 'Twenty, Forty, Sixty' #kabeccafilms

In light of the @BBCNews & @BBCPanorama heartbreaking investigation into claims of bullying & body shaming at 2 of the UK’s top ballet schools our film ‘Gillian’ feels more important than ever. We are so grateful to our contributor for sharing her story. 📸 by Sophie Newton

Kabecca Films was founded to fuse Katie's background in choreography & Rebecca's filmmaking career. As twins, we've grown up appreciating each other & have a shared love of the arts. Here's a photo from our younger days working as a team! #kabeccafilms #femalefilmmakers #twins

When we deliver a project, we’re keen to hear how our audience respond. We were overjoyed to receive this positive feedback regarding our performance piece ‘Why Are We Sold Anti-Ageing’ that was performed as part of last year’s Ageing Well Festival in Brighton. #dance #protest
