Portuguese term or phrase: Prática de Montagem
This is related to the translation of an academic record of a theater school.
Would I be right if I translate this as "Stagecraft Practice"?
Thanks for any help.

Stagecraft is a generic term referring to the technical aspects of theatrical, film, and video production. It includes, but is not limited to, constructing and rigging scenery, hanging and focusing of lighting, design and procurement of costumes, makeup, procurement of props, stage management, and recording and mixing of sound. Stagecraft is considered a technical rather than an artistic field as the focus of stagehands is usually on the practical implementation of a designer's artistic vision

Practical Stagecraft


Explanation:
"Stagecraft" is spot on. I believe "prática" is as opposed to "teoria", though.

Actually, Marlene has a point. Just "stagecraft" should do it.

Asker: So, in your opinion the translation to " Prática de Montagem " should be Practical Stagecraft?

Practicum in Stagecraft/Stagecraft Practicum


Explanation:
Simply leaving off a translation of "prática" should not be an option when a term is commonly used in precisely this context. As part of the master's program I completed (in the US), I had to take a practicum myself. I hope this helps! :-)
