A shorter URL for the above link: . http://tinyurl.com/8awku2f . . The last thing dance professor Philip Grosser remembers from the day he had a severe hemorrhagic stroke in January 2008 was the sight of his cat looking back at him as he lay on the floor of his home. . Life hasn't been the same for Grosser since. Nearly five years later, he still struggles to read and write. And for a time, he couldn't even speak. But one thing hasn't changed Philip Grosser, a member of the Dance Department faculty in Temple's Boyer College of Music and Dance for 26 years is a superb choreographer and teacher. . snip . Unable to speak after regaining consciousness in the hospital due to a condition called aphasia, a language disorder caused by damage to language centers in the brain, Grosser immediately began to do what he had been doing in Dance Department staff meetings for years draw. He drew the food he wanted to eat. And he began to draw colorful abstractions inspired by what he thought the damaged nerves in his brain might look like. This fall, a collection of Grosser's drawings created in the years since his stroke, Nerve Networks, has been published. . . The complete article may be read at the URL above. . .

For Philip, everything about the creative process just is. He is not thinking about what it means or how it will turn out. He derives pleasure from the physical and visual experience of drawing. In this way the drawings are an expression of the new way in which his brain works. . . ======================================================== Program Note: Temple's Conwell Dance Theater on Friday evening, Oct. 26 (7:30 p.m.) and Saturday evening, Oct. 27 (8:30 p.m.), Boyer presents "A Body of Work: Choreography by Philip Grosser," a sampling of works created both before and after his stroke. ======================================================== . .
