ABSTRACT
Co-authored by Improving Social Inclusion for People with Dementia and Carers through Sharing Dance project researchers and diverse community stakeholders in the Sharing Dance Older Adults program, the aim of this chapter is to highlight the experiences of different stakeholders within a collaborative arts-based research project. The chapter includes reflections from a piano accompanist for the Sharing Dance program, an older person who participates in the Sharing Dance, a family carer of a participant living with dementia, and a community leader who experienced Sharing Dance in their community. Each author’s contributions are followed by project researchers’ reflections. Readers will gain insight into the experience of a collaborative arts-based research project from the perspectives of different actors and vantage points.
