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.

Projecting Images onto Cyclorama

I am going to try out one of these new ultra short throw image projectors used today for white board work. I saw one the other day and the ultra wide and from a ceiling mounted projector only feet away covered a pretty wide are without distortion. The beauty of these projectors is; i) short throw minimum light loss due to square law ii) no interference from cast shadows – projector mounted on lighting bar in front of cyc ii) wide angle achieved These are available from Hitachi for one.......... Cheers - Peter (Brisbane) Anyone tried one……….??
