The Royal Ascent invites you into the room for something rare, intimate, and genuinely powerful.WQAF is extremely proud to present an audience-observed coaching session led by an incomparable, internationally renowned drag artist.
Six selected participants will be guided live through moments of creative growth, challenge, clarity, and breakthrough. You’ll witness as they refine ideas, unpack blocks, sharpen instincts, and step more fully into who they are, with the audience invited to observe, learn, and be moved by the journey.
As an audience member, you’ll witness the process, the conversations behind the confidence, the choices behind the performance, and the leadership behind the presence.
WHAT TO EXPECT:
👑 Real time, professional coaching
🎭 Six participants working in real time
✨ Insight into confidence, storytelling, performance, and leadership
