Q: Could I use Airplay while in Clamshell mode?

Hey every one, I hope some one could provide direction to me on this:

So from how I understand it, I can use my Macbook Pro (late 2011) in clamshell mode as long as I have a wired or bluetooth mouse and/or keyboard (and settings adjusted accordingly). I am able to currently do clamshell with the thunderport/HDMI cable.

What I was wondering--> if I can be in Clamshell mode, and still stream wirelessly through airplay to my Apple TV (newest version)?

MacBook Pro, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.1), Late 2011

Alright, so I think the next successive question would be: How do I do it, because I have tried doing the bluetooth settings wakes my computer, but it does NOT air play to my TV. So - could you furnish instructions for the not so adept?
