00:03:15:24	,	00:03:19:01	,	The kids we have here used to live in the street.
00:03:19:12	,	00:03:22:13	,	They do not have to be kids in conflict with law…  
00:03:22:23	,	00:03:25:23	,	there are orphans, victims of children trafficking...
00:03:26:12	,	00:03:30:04	,	We have children aged from 0 to 18 years old...
00:03:30:05	,	00:03:31:20	,	without distinction
00:03:31:21	,	00:03:33:24	,	nor religion neither any other thing.
00:03:34:22	,	00:03:38:02	,	We are not here because of quantity,
00:03:38:03	,	00:03:39:08	,	but because of quality.
00:03:39:21	,	00:03:41:02	,	Only one slave child
00:03:41:03	,	00:03:43:01	,	is already too much for me.
00:03:57:05	,	00:04:00:04	,	We are artists. We are musicians,
00:04:01:23	,	00:04:03:21	,	but we have other colleagues
00:04:04:03	,	00:04:06:24	,	who play theatre or draw
00:04:09:00	,	00:04:11:11	,	We are here to make people see
00:04:11:12	,	00:04:12:19	,	that thanks to Arts
00:04:13:07	,	00:04:15:05	,	they can go on.
00:04:15:24	,	00:04:17:16	,	Even if
00:04:17:17	,	00:04:19:08	,	they have not studied or learnt an office.
00:04:20:06	,	00:04:21:14	,	But some will is needed to
00:04:21:16	,	00:04:23:05	,	do something,
00:04:23:07	,	00:04:24:08	,	look for something,
00:04:24:14	,	00:04:27:11	,	or just for the pleasure
00:04:27:13	,	00:04:29:08	,	of knowing how to do something.
00:04:31:09	,	00:04:33:03	,	Our influence is translated
00:04:33:05	,	00:04:34:14	,	into less runaways.
00:04:34:21	,	00:04:37:14	,	Children stay longer in the centre.
00:04:38:11	,	00:04:40:12	,	There are a couple
00:04:40:14	,	00:04:42:13	,	who are good comedians.
00:04:42:15	,	00:04:44:04	,	And they also like it.
00:04:44:24	,	00:04:46:21	,	It is a pride for us.
00:05:02:14	,	00:05:06:21	,	Before coming here, I was homeless
00:05:07:09	,	00:05:10:24	,	a guy in trouble.
00:05:11:21	,	00:05:14:11	,	Now I have changed my plans.
00:05:14:19	,	00:05:17:14	,	Now I want to work hard at school.
00:05:17:18	,	00:05:20:17	,	Now I want to work hard at school.
00:05:24:10	,	00:05:28:12	,	I wouldn´t have been able to do anything
00:05:28:15	,	00:05:32:08	,	I would have stayed lazing around.
00:05:34:16	,	00:05:36:05	,	I was lazy.
00:07:43:24	,	00:07:45:16	,	I work with Kettly Noël,
00:07:45:18	,	00:07:47:10	,	director and choreographer
00:07:47:18	,	00:07:50:07	,	We are in L´espace, which is 
00:07:50:09	,	00:07:52:21	,	dancing and choreographic research centre
00:07:53:03	,	00:07:54:20	,	that was created seven years ago.
00:07:55:10	,	00:07:57:12	,	We train dancers.
00:07:58:03	,	00:08:00:15	,	And also to allow development of
00:08:00:17	,	00:08:02:15	,	dancing in Africa and Mali
00:08:02:17	,	00:08:04:13	,	because it is the only place
00:08:04:22	,	00:08:06:02	,	where contemporaneous dancing is danced
00:08:06:04	,	00:08:07:18	,	its training and difusion.
00:08:15:23	,	00:08:18:14	,	I met Kettly Noël in 1999
00:08:18:20	,	00:08:20:24	,	we talked about the project
00:08:21:13	,	00:08:24:24	,	here I found the energy and curiosity
00:08:25:06	,	00:08:27:02	,	of something new.
00:08:27:04	,	00:08:29:02	,	And it does exist this incredible energy
00:08:29:04	,	00:08:31:13	,	that all the dancers and choreographer
00:08:31:15	,	00:08:33:02	,	who have been here
00:08:33:04	,	00:08:34:20	,	have felt.
00:08:35:11	,	00:08:36:23	,	From the first performance
00:08:37:00	,	00:08:38:22	,	They have a lot of presence
00:08:38:24	,	00:08:39:20	,	on the stage.
00:08:40:09	,	00:08:42:22	,	I think it is something typical from Africans.
00:09:07:20	,	00:09:11:00	,	My first performance was with Kettly.
00:09:11:12	,	00:09:13:19	,	When the show was over‚
00:09:13:21	,	00:09:16:18	,	even if I didn´t get pa
00:09:16:20	,	00:09:18:18	,	my happiness and proud
00:09:18:20	,	00:09:21:08	,	of myself would compensate.
00:09:21:10	,	00:09:25:05	,	That was the strongest feeling in my life.
00:09:28:10	,	00:09:30:15	,	This feeling, this moment,
00:09:30:21	,	00:09:34:05	,	made me feel like going on.
00:09:36:02	,	00:09:39:08	,	When coming here I realized
00:09:39:10	,	00:09:42:18	,	dancing could change my life.
00:09:49:09	,	00:09:51:14	,	I lived in the street.
00:09:52:01	,	00:09:54:16	,	I slept in the street.
00:09:56:01	,	00:10:00:16	,	Kettly needed people to rehearse‚
00:10:00:18	,	00:10:04:12	,	and when she saw I was taking it serious,
00:10:04:18	,	00:10:08:03	,	she found me food and a place to stay.
00:10:10:12	,	00:10:13:00	,	Before coming here,
00:10:13:02	,	00:10:15:17	,	I did not know how to do anything in my life,
00:10:15:20	,	00:10:17:08	,	but once here,
00:10:17:16	,	00:10:21:06	,	I started to dance.
00:10:23:16	,	00:10:27:04	,	Kettly's husband taught me
00:10:28:24	,	00:10:31:24	,	and I learnt how to read
00:10:32:10	,	00:10:35:13	,	and write a bit.
00:10:37:14	,	00:10:40:19	,	Dancing is my way of living.
00:10:40:21	,	00:10:43:00	,	It´s everything for me
00:10:43:02	,	00:10:45:15	,	I want to dedicate myself to dancing.
00:10:46:19	,	00:10:50:16	,	I don´t want to do anything els
00:11:04:05	,	00:11:06:22	,	When I started, my mother´s brothers didn´t like it much,
00:11:06:24	,	00:11:09:07	,	my mother´s brothers didn´t like it much.
00:11:09:18	,	00:11:14:12	,	Now they are the ones saying I am lucky.
00:11:14:17	,	00:11:17:21	,	They´ve never been to Europa
00:11:17:23	,	00:11:21:19	,	I´ve been there more than once, twice, three ad four times.
00:11:23:00	,	00:11:26:22	,	This has open my vision of life
00:11:35:18	,	00:11:37:09	,	Our satisfaction is now
00:11:37:11	,	00:11:39:14	,	that someday, one of them
00:11:39:16	,	00:11:43:20	,	will be someone thanks to the tom-tom or music.
00:11:44:07	,	00:11:47:09	,	and themselves can be dancers
00:11:47:11	,	00:11:51:02	,	or artists who can live out of their work.
00:11:51:18	,	00:11:54:19	,	My dream is
00:11:54:19	,	00:11:57:12	,	if I finish my studies,
00:11:57:14	,	00:12:00:13	,	help the kids.
00:12:00:15	,	00:12:03:00	,	Mainly those from who live in the street.
00:12:03:09	,	00:12:07:02	,	Finding a job will change their lives.
00:12:07:24	,	00:12:10:22	,	Vocation
00:12:11:14	,	00:12:13:04	,	whichever it is.
00:12:14:24	,	00:12:16:06	,	No more kids suffering.
00:12:16:24	,	00:12:20:06	,	40 kids are present today.
00:12:20:17	,	00:12:25:13	,	one absent, he is at the doctor´s
00:12:25:15	,	00:12:28:05	,	0 escaped.
00:12:28:24	,	00:12:30:22	,	This is the counting of the day.
00:12:31:20	,	00:12:36:10	,	My dream is being a choreographer in the future.
00:12:36:12	,	00:12:40:19	,	Create my own company.
00:12:40:21	,	00:12:43:21	,	Kettly has helped us
00:12:44:08	,	00:12:47:04	,	and we will help other people.
00:12:47:21	,	00:12:50:09	,	The day Kettly is not with us anymore.
00:12:50:11	,	00:12:54:16	,	We will keep L´espace alive
00:12:54:18	,	00:12:56:17	,	That´s my goal
