We used a cane pole offstage with a combination of fishing string and kite string to keep kite aloft and simulate dipping and side to side movement. The onstage actor ran a bit and the offstage operator held pole aloft and another tech pulled on fishing string to get it to fly, holding it taut to keep it aloft. The pole was hidden by wing curtain and worked well.

Hey all … we are doing Little Women the musical this fall and we are struggling with the kite effect at the beach. We have a decent sized auditorium and stage space but no fly space or cat walk. Just wondering if anyone has come up with a clever low cost way of making it work.
Thanks !!
