About the seminar...
In the modern world where Americans spend 90% of their time indoors*, quantity and quality of light is a topic of numerous research studies as it pertains to it's effects on human health and wellness. How important is exposure to light; how do we get enough of it; and how do we make our buildings better for the humans who spend so much of their daily lives inside of them? This conversation goes beyond "white tuning" light and asks the question, "is human-centric lighting a thing?" and, if so, what are the parameters that determine a good human centric lighting design?

What is Improv and what can I expect from this show?
Improv is a form of comedy where players take inspiration from a word, conversation, or in this case a mini-lecture, and create characters and stories with the aim of making you laugh. Everything is made up on the spot and nothing is pre-determined. You never know what could happen. Improv Science Theater 4000 is a comedy group that formed in 2019 and has been performing regularly ever since. The premise is to bring in an expert in any field to teach the audience something and IST4K improvises off of that teaching. Previous guests have been leading experts in saber-toothed tiger research and Danielle Breezy, Nashville's meteorologist! This is a public show. We will have a section of tickets, and DesignLight will cover any snack and refreshment you'd like during the show. Feel free to bring any guest to this show. Also note that this is a true comedy club show - while IST4K strives to be inclusive and respectful of all people at all times, there may be coarse word choice on occasion. Fun bonus fact: Lindsay Frederick of Design Light is an original member of this group and will be hosting this show!
