Research-driven virtual assistant work for artist opportunity curation requires systematic organization and clear written communication—both critical to nonprofit grant and residency applications. This project sits directly in the wheelhouse of research compilation, spreadsheet organization, and professional writing. The test task breaks into three components: opportunity research (10 vetted residencies, festivals, competitions), spreadsheet documentation (deadline tracking, fit scoring), and application drafting (bio, project summary, application response). All require attention to detail and knowledge of contemporary dance/physical theatre landscapes. Approach: Deliver a clean Google Sheet with standardized columns, verify each opportunity against nonprofit criteria, score systematically based on submission requirements and mission alignment, then draft application materials that feel authentic without sounding templated. AI tools will accelerate research; human judgment ensures fit accuracy. Timeline and deliverable format will be confirmed upon acceptance. This is a strong test case for ongoing VA relationship.

Research-backed artist opportunity curation requires filtering noise from legitimate platforms—most assistants miss the distinction between vanity competitions and substantive residencies. This test separates capable operators from those who simply aggregate lists. The deliverable demands three core competencies: precision research across contemporary dance ecosystems, rapid organization using spreadsheet logic, and application writing that mirrors institutional voice without AI artifacts. Tracking 10 opportunities with deadline management, fee structures, and fit scoring requires systematic documentation. Drafting a bio, project summary, and application response means understanding how physical theatre nonprofits position themselves to funders and festival committees. Delivery includes a structured spreadsheet with all requested fields, one fully developed opportunity with application materials, and clear reasoning for fit scores. All research sources are documented. The work prioritizes accuracy over volume—each opportunity verified as active and genuinely aligned with contemporary/interdisciplinary criteria. Timeline: 5 business days. Ready to begin immediately.
