Spanish term or phrase: Módulo: Plástica Escénica
¡Hola! En un historial estudiantil tengo que traducir al inglés "Módulo: Plástica Escénica". No me habían dado más contexto; sin embargo, en otros documentos encontré esto:

"Módulo: Plástica Escénica: permite diseñar y realizar los aspectos plásticos del futuro espectáculo en lo relativo a maquillaje, vestuario, escenografía, utilería e iluminación. También se estudiarán los aspectos de producción escénica, y la relación de estos recursos expresivos con la red de elementos constitutivos del espectáculo".

¿Alguna idea de cuál sería la traducción correcta para "Módulo: Plástica Escénica"?

¡Muchísimas gracias!

Explanation:
Or scenography, stage design, set design or production design.

This term differs depending on which side of the Atlantic you're on. The definition you've found appears to be the European one, and I assume you're writing for a North American readership. Either way, the translation will be the same - it's just that their responsibilities are different.

"Scenic design (also known as scenography, stage design, set design or production design) is the creation of theatrical, as well as film or television scenery...

"In Europe and Australia, scenic designers take a more holistic approach to theatrical design and will often be responsible not only for scenic design but costume, lighting and sound and are referred to as theatre designers or scenographers or production designers."

i think 'stagecraft' is more or less the same as 'Technical Theatre.'

Stagecraft Information

Course Description: This course will provide the student with the opportunity to experience, understand, analyze and create all aspects of technical theatre production. Particular emphasis will be placed on developing skills needed by crew members in play production. This class will take students from script analysis, through research, conceptualization, planning, and technical production techniques. Areas specifically covered will include scenic design and construction, stage lighting, sound design, and property building. Students will be introduced to stage make-up, costuming and public relations.

Stagecraft is the technical aspect of theatrical, film, and video production. It includes 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 distinct from the wider umbrella term of scenography. Considered a technical rather than an artistic field, it is primarily the practical implementation of a designer's artistic vision.
