Early life

Burbrook trained at the Australian Ballet School and the WA Academy of Performing Arts before dancing with a number of ballet companies in Australia. In 1986 she moved to Brisbane to dance with the Queensland Ballet.

After her ballet career was cut short, she made the transition from dancing to acting through an association with La Boite Theatre in Brisbane. During her three-year association with that theatre she performed in a number of plays as well as becoming a Theatresports player, convener and tutor. She also administered Theatresports in Queensland for three years before successfully auditioning for the National Institute of Dramatic Art (NIDA).^{[ citation needed ]}
