Arts-based programs can counter the dominant narrative of loss associated with dementia, in part through fostering expressions of agency. This study uses social science theories of interaction between structure and agency to examine how an arts-based movement program, entitled Mouvement de passage, supports agency among individuals with dementia. Ethnographic methods were used to trace how participants enact agency within the structure of the movement program. The program’s sessions were video recorded and iteratively analyzed. Participants expressed their agency in three ways: 1) transforming the exercise’s structure according to individual interests and desires; 2) resisting the exercise’s structure; and 3) improvising movements collectively. The movements of individuals with dementia were shaped by both program structure and individual/collective expressions of agency. The design of Mouvement de passage, based on open-ended structures and voluntary participation, provides a template for developing interventions that foster agency among these persons.
