I am actually working on this right now.
The solution I came up with is similar to the Power Point Idea. If you. have the means to film and project, take POV shots of the actors on a green screen then drop in some cloud footage, etc.
For the set of the Darling home, I'm rigging in a see/saw (A la Peter and the Starcatcher) device that will allow for a floating effect when the actors are seen onstage "flying"
I'd be curious to know how you made out and what methods you used.
Yours in Art,

Subject: Peter Pan musical without flying
Hello,
My music director and I are looking at doing Peter Pan, the original musical, but we do not have the means or space to fly actors. So we were wondering if anyone has done this show with alternatives to actual flying. We were thinking of maybe doing something with lights and shadows and some kind of rolling apparatus. Any suggestions would be appreciated!
Thank you,
Ken Robinson
