Francisco's L.A.B.

Have you heard of the Chapman stick? It’s a relatively new, guitar-like musical instrument, and you won’t often see one out in the wild - unless you see Live Arts Boston grantee Francisco Rafart play. He’s mastered the instrument and is self-taught. Francisco sat down with Dunamis' J. Cottle for the second episode of Dexter’s L.A.B. to discuss his decision to pick up the Chapman stick, learning as a creative process, his approach to composing/creating and more.

Dexter's L.A.B. Trailer

Created by the Boston Foundation and Dunamis, Dexter's L.A.B. celebrates and examines the creative process. In each episode, released every Wednesday, we talk to a Live Arts Boston grantee about their craft and why the arts matter to them.

Much like in the children's animated television series of a similar moniker, Dexter's L.A.B. is a space where artists are invited to explore their creativity and inspire others to do the same.
