The company was founded by JoAnne Akailitis, Lee Breuer, Philip Glass, Ruth Maleczech, and David Warrilow. It was named after the town of Mabou, Nova Scotia, where the founders rehearsed the group's first piece, The Red Horse Animation.

In 2005, it was among 406 New York City arts and social service institutions to receive part of a $20 million grant from the Carnegie Corporation, which was made possible through a donation by New York City mayor Michael Bloomberg.
