The writing of this thesis brings us closer to the phenomenon in question, based on Merleau-Ponty's Phenomenology. Above all, I draw on the concepts of experience, intercorporeality, the lived world (experiential field) and the sensitive (relational space), phenomenological concepts, in order to get closer to Edson Claro's actions, those of art and physical education teachers and dance artists who had/has the MDEF as a reference point for training and professional performance. Based on the researcherphenomenon relationship and anchored by Merleau-Ponty's Phenomenology, the thesis follows: The Dance-Physical Education Method is a theoreticalmethodological approach of a formative nature and a reference for teaching practice which, in dialog with Merleau-Ponty's Phenomenology, introduces to Education a perspective of awareness about a professional plenitude in movement, based on the relationship between training experiences and professional performance. The phenomenon of this study is the Dance-Physical Education Method (MDEF) created by Edson Claro. The questions guiding these reflections are: How did the systematization of the Dance-Physical Education Method take place in space-time? Is it possible to organize a collection of the Dance-Physical Education Method as a memory of this phenomenon? If so, how? In what way do the researcher's experiences of training and artistic and teaching performance, which have their references in the Dance-Physical Education Method, contribute to thinking about professional fulfillment? In order to answer these questions, we have set ourselves three objectives: 1) to systematize the training itinerary of Professor Edson Claro based on a historical elaboration of the process of creating the MDEF, an expression of a fullness of life based on his experiences; 2) to compose an MDEF Archive that corresponds to the memory of this method and that constitutes a source of research for the Thesis; 3) to operate an awareness of professional training and performance in Physical Education and Dance as an expression of a professional fullness in movement. This study uses phenomenology as a research attitude and Aby Warburg's memory panels as a strategy for organizing and producing knowledge through images. The originality of this thesis is ratified in the training experiences of dance artists and teachers in the areas of Physical Education and Dance, based on the records and reflections of their professional practices in relation to the method created by Edson Claro, where the researcher is included. The research proposed here is based on Edson Claro's experiences in creating MDEF; on the memory surrounding the method he created; on an awareness of training and professional practice based on links with this method. The first chapter is entitled DANCE-PHYSICAL EDUCATION METHOD: Itineraries and relationships between creator and creature; an idea of the fullness of training and professional performance and brings Edson Claro's formative and professional trajectory between 1970 and 2006 in the relationship of the systematization and flow of his method. Chapter 2, entitled ARQUIVO MÉTODO DANÇA-EDUCAÇÃO FÍSICA, between the role of the archivist and the work of the weaver, flights on experience, presents a broad collection of information on the phenomenon studied, namely: a State of the Art, a Cartography of the MDEF, a Mnemonic Map of the MDEF and a Journey on the legacy of Edson Claro. This archive constitutes an ontology of the MDEF, a reference of Education that is made in the exercise of creative experience and that is echoed in the constitutive acts of training and professional performance. Chapter 3, entitled METHOD OF DANCE-PHYSICAL EDUCATION: between experience and awareness, a flight over professional training and performance operates an awareness of professional training and performance in Physical Education and Dance as an expression of professional fullness in movement.
