AS Project has been in existence since 1995 as an open group of dancers, who work on occasional dance projects. They are mostly students or graduates of the Academy of Music and Dance in Bratislava with extensive dance experience.
The leader of the group is Anna Sedláčková, teacher and choreographer, who has created performances The Ballad, The Spinning Dance, BMExpress, How we laughed and Presporok Tangos for the company. AS Project has collaborated with American choreographers Marta Renzi (1995 – 1998) and Marta Miller (2001 – 2003).

The trams were called A, B, C, D, E. They were thin, old, grey and expensive. One fare cost 60 hellers. For the ordinary people it was a lot of money, so we preferred to walk and wear out our soles.
The tram called A used to ride from the Main Train Station to the National Theatre and back. The tram called B took you to Nová Doba. The C rode to Rača.
The D tram rode to Karlova Ves, riding very close to the Danube. The tram called E rode from the quay through the present-day Old Bridge to Petržalka.
(The bridge used to look different but the Germans blew it up before the end of the war.)
