294 Conclusion<br />

Gries has a much broader view of the future: he hopes that younger sciences,<br />

like neuroscience, will succeed in explaining the types of communication torrents<br />

that rush through the body. “That would be the ultimate legacy, if<br />

aspects of Release Technique would move on into our understanding of consciousness,<br />

spirituality, health.” With this, Release Technique research would<br />

then find itself in a pioneering context where it has, time and again in the<br />

past, furthered aesthetic, artistic, and<br />

everyday development from a pedestrian<br />

vantage point.<br />

“It is body training focused on economy<br />

that gives you the chance to organize<br />

yourself as efficiently as possible.<br />

After that you can do with it what you<br />

will. You can dance ballet, flamenco,<br />

or hip–hop, you can become a dramatic<br />

actor—you can apply the tools taught<br />

universally.” Sylvia Scheidl, research team
