Ocotillo Research is a group committed to creating and facilitating collaborative activities between the arts. Ocotillo's special focus is to spur collaboration and dialogue between the isolated arts departments (visual arts, music, theatre, dance, and so forth) at UCSD as an eventual model for collaborative multidisciplinary arts research, creation, dialogue, and criticism in a larger UC network. All Ocotillo events are open to input/action from all members of the UCSD arts community, specifically targeted, but not limited, at the graduate level.
