Thought Experiment - Asking Ideas for Shot Composition?

Ok everyone - a little thought experiment. Not asking for and direct photo feedback or critiques - mainly how you would handle this situation:

I'm sketching out a photography project with a model I work with who also writes poetry. The concept is to visually represent a few select poems through poses and composition. I'll be in a controlled space - a large studio with a 30 ft wide by 24ft high cyc wall. Here's the objective:

  1. Use a projector (5,000 lumens) to project the poem on the cycle wall as a background element. (I can develop different styles for the text in Illustrator for use in studio).
  2. Use the depth of the room to pose and separately light the model in the foreground.
  3. Adequately control the lighting so there is good separation between model and the background - but shooting with a good enough aperture to keep both in focus.

I'll have a ton of strobes and modifiers to work with.

Here's the question - how would you light these two scenes separately, but in a way to create a unified look.

Not that it really matters, but I'll be shooting on a Fuji GFX100sii.
