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.

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.

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.
