Lo Manfei passed away, 3/24/06

just wanted you to know that Taiwan's beloved dance "
diva ", choreographer and dance educator -- Lo Manfei
(Joy) passed away 3/24/06 after five years of combatting lung cancer.

it's a very sad day for many of us, especially on the eve of her top student Fangyi Sheu's performance as the star of the Martha Graham Dance Company at taipei's National Theatre, 3/25-26, 2006.

Manfei will be missed dearly not only by those of us who were fortunate enough to know her, but also those she inspired as well.
