Projecting Images onto Cyclorama

I am trying to get some ideas on how I might project images (in lieu of changing backdrops as we have no fly tower) onto a cyclorama for a ballet school concert. The obstacles are - that there is no space behind the cyc to rear project (only 10cm) and I suspect that running a high powered projector from the dress circle bar will mean the girls are dancing through the projected images. Any ideas? Cheers.

Most modern projectors have

Most modern projectors have keyhole(?) correction, which allows you to project from an angle. This allows you to set the projector above the stage, and shoot downwards onto the cyc. However, I don't think you can get enough adjustment to get the projector close enough to avoid shadows. So that's really no help at all. You might hire some of those new-fangled pattern projecting lamps. :) www.meltheco.org.au
