If you set the exposure to capture the image of the dancer well, the background would still be not strong enough as the mini DV has a rather low signal to noise ratio, much lower than the human eye. Looks great on stage but bad on video. What really is necessary is to have an image in the back that has a luminosity value as close as possible to the luminosity of the subject in the foreground - for the camera. Whenever there is a big difference, there will be a problem. Therefore more powerful projector or less powerful side lighting.
