General grew up with music and then moved into dance. He has danced in many dance companies, danced and sang on the Broadway stage in CATS, toured with Phantom of the Opera, Miss Saigon and other shows. He has always leaned in on the arts, and took opportunities that were presented to express himself artistically. At one point, the opportunity came to teach dance, and that has continued. He now is an associate professor of dance at West Virginia University. The break-out rooms explored the question of how to find joy in the arts, as a healer, a teacher or a creator. General has lived his life to express the joy he feels in expressing himself artistically, and we all have joy in what we came here to do.
