If I understand you correctly, in that (1) is immediate and realtime
and (2) is not, then what I would be interested in doing is a live
version of (2). (And it's lot more than remixing in the conventional
sense.)

Fine. But then you've not answered my question. One can still regard
the control data generated by a performance (let me rephrase: DURING a
performance) as an abstraction which can generate (*in realtime*) one
of an infinite number of different outcomes.
(I'm thinking here of another possibility, where both the dancer and
the musician influence the score through a control system; perhaps the
musician performs to set up the control points for the score and the
dancer exercises them.)
