Dazed And Confused - Led Zepplin - 1969

youtube

Good morning and happy Friday. One night in 1969, a man from a record company walked into the studio at New York City radio station WNEW and handed overnight DJ Alison Steel and new record. Coming out of a commercial break she, without a question or hesitation, dropped the needle on the first song of the album. The song was Dazed And Confused and NYC was introduced to Led Zepplin. Today's theme is "debuts". Our first introduction to some of our favorite musicians and some that just vanished.

Fantasy Guide to the Debutante Ball

In recent years due to the rise of Bridgerton, the concept of a debutant has piqued a lot of your interests. I've been answering a lot of questions about debuts so I've decided to compile everything into one guide for you all (y'all deserve a guide because I've not made many in ages cause I've been absolutely swamped. I'm going to try do more).

What exactly is a debut?

A debut is the entrance of a member of the nobility, the gentry or the wealthy into the society of the day. They are being formally introduced to their peers and their future social groups. This milestone marks them coming of age and being able to finally take part in society as adults. Both boys and girls make their debut in society. But we will be focusing on the girls for today.

How to Debut in Polite Society

Like many traditions, there are strict guidelines one must follow. Most debutants are at least 16, ranging to 16-20. They must be a member of nobility, gentry or a part of an influential family in order to participate.

In European tradition, the debutant is introduced to the Royal family by a female relative, who has already been presented at court. They are formally introduced to the court and society, making their bows or curtsys. Once this ritual has been observed, every debutant will hold a ball at their own home to celebrate their coming out. Every debutant will host a ball and attend other debutants' balls over the weeks of the Season. They would also attend different events throughout the Season in order to meet their peers and make connections. The tradition of the debutant ball has become a rarity in recent years though some still practise it.

In 19th Century America, one debut's by holding a ball to mark one's entrance into society. Peers, influential figures and other affluential people would be invited to witness the debutant make their entrance. In more recent years, a debut is made through International Debutante Ball. A debutante must be recommended by an established member of society or a member of the committee (usually a female relative) similar to the European tradition. However, in American tradition the debutants are escorted by her father rather than a female relative and once she's presented, she is escorted by a younger male escort. The American debutant does not get away without her curtsy however, she must perform the gesture known as the St. James Bow to attendees or in Southern tradition, the "Texas Dip".

What to wear to a Debut

Everything, even down to what you're wearing, is set out in tradition. When debuting at a European Court, the traditional choice is a white court dress (though soft pinks and shades of white are permitted). The dress was short sleeved and had to have a train. The debutante wore long white gloves, a veil in her hair with three white ostrich feathers and jewels. Before the debutant has been introduced, she would hold her train over her arm and then let it fall when she has been presented. American debutants have a more complex colour scheme since they can participate in the ball for up to three years first time debutants wear wear white, post-debutantes black and on the third year they wear red.

I also really recommend watching Downton Abbey 4x09 because of how accurately it depicts the debutante's journey from before ceremony, the actual ceremony and post-ceremony.

The New Generation of Mariinsky Swans

I would argue that Swan Lake is the most important ballet for the Mariinsky Theatre. So while this generation of young dancers have debuted pretty much every principal role in the company's repertoire, until recently Swan Lake was an exception.

The first dancer of the "new generation" to debut Odette/Odile was Maria Ilyushkina in January 2020. There hadn't been a Swan debut in a while and for three years after she was the only "younger" dancer to be performing the role.

This year it seems that with so many current Odette/Odile's close to retiring, they are lining up a whole new generation of Swans!

We had Renata Shakirova's debut this June and now Maria Khoreva's coming up in July. But additionally, there are quite a few other dancers who seem like they could possibly have their debut soon as well:

both Anastasia Plotnikova ('20 Vaganova Grad) and Valeria Kuznetsova ('23 Perm Grad) have performed the White Swan Adagio in Divertissements

youtube

Similarly, Maria Bulanova has performed the Black Swan pas de deux as a part of multiple Divertissements

youtube

Finally, Anastasia Lukina has performed Odette/Odile multiple times with the Primorsky.

While I think Bulanova needs time to become a convincing Odette, she makes a beautiful Odile and I could say the exact opposite for Plotnikova. She especially, in my opinion, needs a few bigger roles first, but they both have serious potential.

I also have a hard time imagining Kuznetsova as Odile. However the fact that she was given the White Swan Adagio pretty much as soon as she joined the company, seems to suggest that she is also seriously in the running for the part.

At this point Lukina has performed Odette/Odile twice with the Primorsky. While this doesn't guarantee anything at all for the Mariinsky, we do know that Shakirova debuted Odette/Odile first with the Primorsky before getting the role with the Mariinsky.

And if I were to really speculate, I could also see Fateyev eventually giving Camilla Mazzi a shot at the part. Finally, though Ionova really doesn't have the traction right now, she certainly has the right arms for it.

So in all, it's a really exciting time for Swan Lake at the Mariinsky. With two debuts and others hopefully on the horizon for next season we're seeing the start of a whole new generation of Swans!

Opinions on Sofya valiullina and Maria koshkareva debut in chopiniana and paquita respectively?

Maria: From the short clip I saw online, I didn’t love it. Mostly due to a lack of of finesse with her epaulement and port de bras. I found myself drawn to some of the corps dancers’ port de bras, which seemed more refined. But Koshkaryova does exude confidence!

Sofya: the clip was only one-minute long, but she looked pretty good, very soft and romantic. Would love to see more.
