| Over the years his line of research based on the existential complexity of body and soul resulted in the creation of unmistakable signs which gave a unique identity to Quasar, alternating moments of vigor and pungency, humor and simplicity. |

| The involvement with the production of videos and spectacle productions also revealed his talent in the scenic arts. Due to this characteristic, Rodovalho has shown that he can reach important levels of communication between the audience and the dancers. Besides the traditional scenic art artifices, the much-awarded choreographer invests in multimedia strategies to propose interaction between the real world and the imaginary universe created on the stage. |
