Here is a link to another amazing kite flying performance.  They are 
a couple, who do indoor kite ballet.

and a direct link to one of their promo videos

On their video page, they also share a number of videos from a number 
of different kite performers with different styles.
There seems to be a very strong kiting community, with regular kite 
flying festivals. http://aka.kite.org

I did a little reading on this a while back, with comparable 
ambitions to yours, but never really pursued it. I do seem to recall 
seeing one outdoor kite flying video where the individual was able to 
stop the kite with great control.  I think these is a good tool for 
when you have different kites representing characters, and need for 
one character to yield focus to the other. Also, another where an 
individual was able to land the kite on the ground, and then fly it 
again... obviously good for the equivalent of stage entrances and exits.
