To conduct academic service activities for the community in strategic areas identified by the Faculty of Fine Arts.
The "Saen Saeb Model" aims to cultivate a volunteer spirit among students from the Department of Performing Arts, Faculty of Fine Arts, Srinakharinwirot University. By engaging in activities at Makkasan Pittaya School, located near the significant Saen Saeb Canal, students bring their knowledge of Thai classical dance to the school. The performance integrates the cultural importance of the Saen Saeb Canal with Thai classical dance, creating an educational experience that conveys the value of these heritage elements, while encouraging the audience to maintain and preserve them sustainably.
The project resulted in a Thai dance performance designed to promote awareness and appreciation of Thai classical dance for secondary students, along with three workshop activities: costume design, stage makeup and hairstyling, and creative Thai dance practice. Students acquired knowledge in principles, concepts, types, forms, elements, design methods, and the process of organizing Thai dance. They practiced designing and creating both traditional and innovative Thai dance to foster learning and cultural appreciation among secondary students in a real-world setting. Participants in the project contributed to the preservation and continuation of Thai cultural heritage and learned the creative process of developing Thai classical dance.
