The Booze Buzz project was developed through a partnership with the Director for Health Improvement for Greater Manchester. It contributed to the Greater Manchester Alcohol Steering Group project plan by stimulating debate in the public arena about alcohol by using creative participatory activities. The project was managed by LIME and brokered through the Greater Manchester Arts and Health Network (GMAHN) with Manchester City Council, Bolton MBC, Stockport MBC and Oldham MBC. The Booze Buzz project looked at drinking habits in a different way through the words, eyes and actions of artists responding to and involving the general public. The project set out not to preach, but to listen and encourage debate in new creative ways. The artists explored an exciting array of theatre and writing, drawing and drama to portray views and ideas of the general public. They also worked with health professionals and public health experts in the region to explore how best to portray issues around our drinking culture.
