Though Impact Theatre Cooperative disbanded in 1986, its creations - especially The Carrier Frequency - continue to be important in the history of devised and physical theatre. Frances Babbage, writing about a symposium held in connection with Stan's Cafe's recreation of The Carrier Frequency in 1999, said "Many companies since have cited Impact as a major inspiration, with The Carrier Frequency in particular achieving almost mythic status", while Alison Oddey mentions The Carrier Frequency in her book on devised theatre, Devising Theatre: A Practical and Theoretical Handbook
